Teenagers Efe and Sam first meet in London in the 1990s.

Years later the best friends are married. Their love story couldn’t seem more perfect.

Efe and Sam must discover if what they really want is still each other…

A poignant, heart-breaking debut about a British-Ghanaian marriage in crisis, Rootless is a story of friendship, family, societal obligation and motherhood. But above all, it’s a story of love.
