Amaka In a quiet Nigerian village where secrets are buried as deeply as the dead, Amara's life takes a terrifying turn when she hears three knocks at her door at midnight.

But when the mysterious voice warns her that the people responsible for Nneka's death are coming for her, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her family.
