Jayne is an attractive 29-year-old who lives in one of Nairobi’s up market residential areas. She has known everything from a good job to money to men. She has been to places too — the UK, the US, South Africa and a host of other destinations in and out of Africa. After her last trip she came back to her apartment dejected and downcast. In her estimation she has lived life and encountered everything from temporary highs to depressing lows. She has now decided that life really isn’t worth living; why not end it all and ‘rest’?
