Forty-seven years later, Mayah conspires to take her grandmother back to her motherland so she can reconcile with her estranged brother. Once there, Mayah comes to discover the rich and poor divide. The country has been an independent nation for over forty-years, but poverty and corruption is still very rife. She also learns that fair complexion is still the preference. Most distressingly, he who dares to challenge customs and government risked death.

There are those, who fear she will gain power. Will she rise against their oppression?
