Miika is a 14-year-old girl living in a war torn and ravaged village in Northern Uganda in the late 1970s. Locked in a trance by the horrors she witnesses one night, Miika, with a little help from a mystical Presence, decides to take matters into her own hands and save her family from the wrath of defunct rebel soldiers. After escaping the soldiers attack on her home, she turns back and with her new ghostly ally, returns home to point the gun at the unsuspecting soldiers.
