Promise to Stronger Days connects two different, evolving storylines. The main storyline is about Adira’s internal struggle to hook up with Jerome — an attractive man who rescued her at her friend Keke’s birthday party — after months of having no sex due to her trauma. The other storyline is fragmented at first, but her truth is pieced together: Adira was sexually assaulted by her father after being left alone with him due to marital issues. Adira becomes increasingly frustrated with her inability to connect with others due to her trauma, until she decides to take her power back. After a few failed sex attempts with Jerome, she intentionally returns to her childhood flashbacks to kill her abuser.
