While attending a sex party thrown by his friend Ahmed, Kalu finds out that a teenage girl is being ganged raped in one of the private rooms. He barges in and throws a man off of her. This man turns out to be a powerful pastor, who then puts out a hit on Kalu. Kalu confronts Ahmed about having a teenage girl at at this party. Ahmed at first lies and says it was an adult woman who looked like a teenager. He then caves and admits that the girl is 17, but ridicules Kalu for trying to save her when plenty of young girls and other innocent people are suffering in their city every day but are ignored. In the final climax of the book, the pastor decides to spare Kalu’s life, but he coerces him and Ahmed to rape the same girl he raped so they can no longer claim any moral high ground over him. Aima and their best friend have sex, and the best friend’s brother overhears them. When he encounters Aima alone, he shames her for enjoying sex with a woman and propositions her. Ahmed goes to a sex party thrown by someone else and has sex with a guy named Shawn. Shawn secretly records this encounter and threatens to expose Ahmed. Upon receiving this threat, Ahmed has rough sex with Shawn and then strangles him to death. There are two main sex worker characters in the book: Souraya and Ola. Ahmed once saved Souraya from a situation where she was locked in a room and raped repeatedly. Ola also experienced sexual violence when she was younger, but she does not expect to get any justice for them and barely thinks it’s worth it to help anyone else who’s suffering similarly. Throughout the book, there are several ostensibly consensual sex scenes that are very violent.
