How do you survive a storm when the wind is tearing your own family apart?

At just eight years old, Meimuna’s world is shattered when her mother sends her away to live with her married stepsister. What should have been a protective family reunion quickly degenerates into a bitter, toxic fallout—severely fracturing a bond meant to last a lifetime. Escaping one fire only to step into another, seventeen-year-old Meimuna enters an arranged marriage, hoping for peace. Instead, she inherits her ultimate test: a stubbornly defiant stepdaughter who views her as an enemy, and a vicious circle of hostile in-laws determined to see her fail. As the years roll on, the storms only grow fiercer. Between her son’s sudden, devastating illness and her own grueling battle with a life-threatening diabetic condition, Meimuna is pushed to her absolute physical and emotional limits. When the baton of suffering threatens to pass down to her children, she must make a choice. Will she break under the weight of her trials, or find the fundamental principles needed to conquer the cruelest enemies living within her own home? Set against a backdrop of ultimate resilience, sacrifice, and survival, Eyes of the Storm is a gripping, deeply emotional contemporary Kenyan drama about the heavy price of family loyalty.
