Do the tears of the lonely ever dry? Okiki’s world is awakened by a strange
encounter with a mysterious cashew tree, a talking tree. He finds solace in the
mysterious tree as he leans on its tutelage to battle the vicissitudes of his family
life. He faces the challenge of an intolerable father, Adigun, who grossly abuses his
wife and makes life unbearable for his three children. Amope, a humble hearted
mother, with pious extravagances, would not allow her children to show ill
feelings toward their benefactor as she battles with epilepsy. All these culminate
in the mind of Doja, Amope’s first son, as he awaits the accurate time to pin his
father’s callousness against the walls of vengeance.

The stage is set when Okiki grasps education as his lasting panacea to end
his tears. But darkness begins to roam around his flickering light of hope
when his father escapes to the city with his secret lover, his brother is being
pursued by a weight of guilty conscience, and his sister’s marital dream is
being smeared in their pursuit to salvage Amope’s life.

This is a heart-rending and inspiring story set in Nigeria’s post-independence
years, creating a perfect imagery of a failing nation through a dysfunctional family,
while the vision for a glorious future is set in the eyes of a lonely child.
