Koto, a man of Nigeria's ruling elite, wants a son. His desire for a male heir makes him order his wife to terminate pregnancies of girls. When he finds the cleaner in the government building has thirteen sons, he determines to marry the man's only "daughter," come what may. He feels that society needs him to create a permanent change. Ironically, he struggles to create any change as he is consistently faced by barriers like corruption, self-degradation and undesirable events. He turns to religion for solace but faces disappointments. His dreams and hope for his life and his community begins to fade out gradually. 'Sometimes, some things are better untouched.' Koto said when he sees his world tearing apart.
