Idil has grown up as the adored daughter in a privileged family. She worships her father, a high-ranking official in the Somali army, and all that he represents. But as she matures and watches her parents' marriage unravel, her father's image tarnishes.

When she falls in love with gentle Sidow from the lower-class Boon tribe, their love is not only taboo, it is doomed. Idil is ready to give up her family and social status to be with him. But she cannot guess how terrifying the repercussions will be.
