When Sibongile misses her son's academic award ceremony, she promises to make it up to him by leaving work early the next day to celebrate with him. But when she wakes up the next morning, her son is missing. On that very day, she makes another promise to Cassandra - the little girl whose parents she works for - to come and watch her in her school play the next week. Despite the stress of a missing son, Sibongile puts on a brave face at work so that she may keep her promise to her son by coming home early.
