Revelations

Beschreibung

A neglected wife in a foreign country. Feeling isolated, Elizabeth is struggling to find her place in a different country. Her once happy marriage is fading. Her husband, Ditiro, is busy with his successful law practice. Even being a mother does not alleviate her loneliness. An ambitious man who will do anything for greatness. After one challenging morning, Elizabeth picks up a hitchhiker, and completely out of character, she has a brief sexual encounter with the much younger man, Tumelo-a rash decision that will change her life completely. Tumelo, a pathologically ambitious man will use Elizabeth as a stepping-stone on his way to the fame he thinks he deserves. An embittered husband battling to save more than his marriage. Ditiro is broken-hearted by Elizabeth's affair and kicks her out of their home and family life. When she becomes the target of a psychopath's quest for power, he will have to put aside his hurt to protect her. However, forgiving Elizabeth and letting her back into his heart may be beyond him.
