Years after being abducted as a child, Sakunda, now known as Nyokabi, hesitantly agrees to marry her abductor. But she insists that he must take her home for a visit first. Njamba, who is both her abductor and suitor, suggests they visit after their wedding instead. As time passes and children are born, the promise is forgotten. Now that their children are old enough to be left alone, it is finally time to fulfil that long-overdue promise.
When they arrive at her home in Maasai land, Sakunda is claimed as a wife by the man who paid her dowry when she was a toddler. She is detained. His dowry must be refunded, and Njamba must retrieve it from his home in the Agikuyu land. But he never returns. What happened to him? Worried, Nyokabi escapes to 'My Husband, My Abductor'.
