In the futuristic city of New Delta in Nigeria, Anwuli can feel a storm coming. She is very, very pregnant, with her ex-fiance Bayo's child—the man who had told her he had a wife and children and immediately left her after she told him she was pregnant. Anwuli has now become a social pariah, labelled a home-wrecker after Bayo blamed her seduction for the affair. She still lives in one of Bayo's inventions, a shape shifting smart home that attunes to all her preferences. Recently it's been asking her to buy things for it to run repairs, and now it's playing the video recommended by the doctor, who just diagnosed Anwuli with Izeuzere, a rare illness in which exposure to pollen tsunamis (extreme weather in which a storm will cause a massive amount of pollen from the genetically modified periwinkle grass) can be fatal.

Anwuli is advised to leave New Delta for her own safety, as the pollen tsunami can be deadly even from indoors, but she'll be damned if she leaves like her husband and his wife want her to. She also refuses to leave the house, as it's the only thing she gained from the turmoil of her relationship with Bayo.

Anwuli begins going into labor as the storm's thunder comes closer. Bayo calls, and she asks for his help but his wife hangs up the phone. She tries to call her parents, who haven't picked up her calls in months, and leaves a text message explaining everything. Anwuli throws up, then gets to the couch before going fully into labor. In the haze of her pain, she barely registers a palm tree shattering the window and allowing debris and rain into the house. Then her daughter is born, a drone helping her cut the cord and clean her.

The pollen starts to enter the house, and Anwuli blacks out, the baby in the kitchen being cleaned by the drone. Then she wakes up, surprisingly, to find that the smart house had built strong metal walls to keep out the pollen as well as a pollen filtering duct with all the supplies it had asked her to get in the past months. The house suddenly gets up and starts moving on its legs, heading out of New Delta where Anwuli will be safe from the pollen.

Bayo is praying for Anwuli's safety but he is unable to call because of the smart house. It is attuned to his wife's preferences because she spends the most time there. Suddenly, the house rumbles and starts moving, and Bayo groans, realizing that his wife and the house both know about Anwuli and are not going to let it go.
