In the aftermath of Nigeria’s second civil war, the country is split into three provinces with the City as its utopian capital. Groomed with the backdrop and confluence of native culture, technology, and superstition, a young girl on a quest for discovery and exploration may find that she is the solution to someone’s problems.
