With an expired visitor’s visa, two young children, and a husband with no work permit, Akua’s life spirals out of control.

Twelve years after leaving secondary school in Ghana, Akua and four old school friends meet and share their stories of life as legal and illegal migrants in London.

The pursuit of wider opportunities for higher education, enhanced job prospects and the quest for a better life influenced their individual decisions to move to the UK.

Together, they take us through their stories of love, heartbreak, loss, disappointment, and faith in God and the heart-wrenching circumstances affecting their search for greener pastures beyond the continent of Africa.
