Amara has built a quiet life in Aba, married to a gentle man who stood by her through heartbreak she has never fully named. When the man who caused that heartbreak returns five years later, pretending to need a new outfit, the careful order of her life begins to unravel. Against the noise of family expectation and a mother whose love comes wrapped in cruelty, Aba Blues asks whether the right choice and the honest one are ever the same thing.
