When eighteen-year-old Ladi and her younger sister, Hasana, are kidnapped from their school by Boko Haram, they must work together to survive. While Hasana’s Asperger’s colours her understanding differently from her sister’s, Ladi must face her own demons including the burden of responsibility and the folly of her selfishness.

Exploring the different ways of being a woman in our society – specifically, a young lesbian woman – writer/director Corrina Hodgson juggles time, place, characters and alternate realities in marvelously theatrical fashion. At the center of the story is troubled, imaginative teenager Ginny, dealing with a prom-obsessed gal pal with whom she’s fooled around , a demanding mother, a manipulative lesbian lawyer and a psychologist with problems of his own. -Summerworks '04
