Pedestrian Arapera ends up under an overturned car that careers up onto the sidewalk and she escapes without injuries, but her first concern is what happened to the little girls she tried to push out of harm's way. Nobody at the scene saw the girls, and videos of the accident on social media ignite an intense debate about what Arapera really saw.
Arapera's life becomes a nightmare of rumour and speculation, and she can't get away from the pressure from news media and intense social media attention. At the same time, she is trying to deal with problems at work and an abusive father fuelled by self-righteous religious wrath - Arapera feels she has lost control of her life.
Can she trust an offer of help from a man she has only met once or is it taking one risk too many? Sometimes life is a knife-edge balance between staying safe and taking risks, and there is no way of predicting if the gamble is worth it.
