Returning home, she finds out that the government refuses to take action in fear of the growing insurgency. When the terrorists come after her, she decides to take matters into her own hands. Allowing herself to be taken, she figures it is the only way to find her sister. Aisa traverses the Boko Haram slave camp and comes face to face with their extremist leader. She consorts with the imprisoned girls and discovers a purpose far greater than she could have ever imagined.
