Cameroon immigrant John Dejonga, who lives in Harlem, came to the United States to provide himself, his wife, Nini and their six-year-old son a better life. In the autumn of 2007, when Lehman Brothers Edwards and Clark Edwards were drivers, Zander was hard to believe his luck. Clark sought punctuality, attention, and loyalty - and Jed was delighted with joy. Clark's wife Cindy offered even temporary work for Nen at Edward's Hampton Summer House. With these opportunities, Jende and Neni can finally gain foothold in the United States and imagine a brighter future.

But the world with powerful privileges and privileges obscured the troubling secrets and soon Genen and Nen noticed cracks in front of their employers.

When the financial community was shocked by the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Jongas was eager to continue Jende's work, even though their marriage might collapse. Jende and Neni were forced to make an impossible choice, as the lives of all four people were completely reversed.
