When Siphiwekonke arrives in Johannesburg, all she wants is a simple job to help her sick mother back home. She moves in with her older sister - a woman surviving the only way she knows how, by selling her body in the night.
But Siphiwekonke wants something different. Something clean. Something safe.
So when a mysterious, well-dressed man offers her work as a live-in maid, she accepts - despite the whispers, the warnings, and the way the house seems to breathe in the dark.
Because love can be soft.
But magic is cruel.
And this house... wants something in return.
In a world where every wish comes with a sacrifice, how far would you go for the life you've always dreamed of?
