Faults, voids and fixes
It is a normal day at Kadichie High School until Maggie reveals her pregnancy to her best friend, Fauziah. Surprisingly, she is not sure of the person responsible. The revelation revives
hallucinations Fauziah has been trying to suppress for years, borne from a nasty encounter with a stranger in a forest. Secrets abound between the teenagers, and now the events that follow threaten to tear apart the lives of the two girls. While Maggie ponders over what to do with the pregnancy, Fauziah struggles with her own demons of claustrophobia. What they do not know is that the secrets, the actions, and the events that follow will threaten a closely knit community and their future in ways no one foresaw. Faults, voids and fixes explores the struggles of teenagers and how their experiences mould their perception of life and relationships. It is a story of brokenness as well as hope, a dalliance with life and death situations, and the ultimate story of two young girls who believe they can take on the world by themselves.
