In a cot­ton-far­ming vil­la­ge in Sudan, teenage Nafisa is rai­sed on heroic tales of batt­ling British colo­ni­zers told by her grand­mo­ther, the vil­la­ge matri­arch Al-Sit. But when a young busi­ness­man arri­ves from abroad with a new deve­lo­p­ment plan and gene­ti­cal­ly engi­nee­red cot­ton, Nafisa beco­mes the cen­ter of a power play to deter­mi­ne the future of the vil­la­ge. Awakening to her own strength, Nafisa sets out to save the cot­ton fields – and hers­elf. Neither she nor her com­mu­ni­ty will ever be the same again.
