We follow Sankofa through trials and tribulations regarding her power and the trauma brought with it. This seems to be a tale of character development and acceptance, but turns into something so much more. We get hints of the underlying conspiracy, but seeing and experiencing this through the narrative of young Sankofa, we don't realize or see the full picture until the very end. The closeness to our current state of world is unnerving, rightfully so.
Moments of high stress, moments of comfort and happy tears, moments of righteous indignation.
