A former soldier grappling with poverty and a fall from grace, Ben seeks refuge in the city's bustling nightlife, his journey punctuated by encounters that offer glimpses of hope amidst despair. This novel delves into the struggles of a young Kenyan man striving for dignity and escape in a world that constantly tests his resilience. Through Mwangi's keen observation, the narrative captures the raw energy and complex social fabric of urban Africa, exploring themes of survival, memory, and the enduring human spirit.
