BURIED TRUTH

When Tayo, a young domestic worker, arrives at the grand Onyeka estate, she believes she has found an opportunity to change her life. But beneath the polished floors and elegant chandeliers, the house harbors dark secrets—secrets that its owners are desperate to keep buried.

At the heart of the mystery is Madam Adaora, the powerful matriarch of the Onyeka family, whose unwavering control over the household masks a past she would rather forget. Her husband, Dr. Dapo Onyeka, a respected surgeon, carries a silent burden of guilt that threatens to unravel everything they have built. Chidi, the family's driver, has worked for them long enough to know that perfection comes at a price—and that price might be too high for anyone who digs too deep.

As Tayo settles into her duties, she begins to notice the cracks in the family’s perfect image. Strange whispers in the night, locked doors that no one dares to open, and the suffocating silence around Nneka Onyeka, a girl whose name is never mentioned. A hidden journal in the pantry leads Tayo down a dangerous path, revealing Nneka's chilling final words and an ominous reference to something buried in the garden.

Meanwhile, Madam Ngozi, a watchful neighbor, has seen too much over the years. She knows the Onyeka family is hiding something, but even she hesitates to uncover the truth. And Chidi, torn between his loyalty and his conscience, knows that the moment Tayo starts asking questions, she is putting herself in grave danger.

As Tayo pieces together fragments of a long-buried crime, the walls of the Onyeka estate begin to close in. The secrets of the past claw their way to the surface, threatening to destroy everyone involved. The truth behind Nneka's disappearance, the night of the storm, and the whispers about the locked basement all lead to one harrowing conclusion:

Some truths refuse to stay buried.

But as Tayo soon realizes, those who uncover the past may not live to tell it.
