It tells the tragic story of Wariinga, a young woman who moves from a rural Kenyan town to the capital, Nairobi, only to be exploited by her boss later by a corrupt businessman. Wariinga begins to realize that her problems are symptoms of a societal malaise, that much of the misfortune stems from stern, capitalist influences on her country.
