About the show

Libera, 1992, during the First Civil War. As Papay Taylor’s rebels draw near their village, Mamie Esther and her 14-year-old daughter, Martha, make a pivotal decision to head toward Monrovia instead of crossing the border into Guinea. For safety, Martha disguises herself as a boy, adopting the name Peter. However, their plan takes a harrowing turn when they are intercepted by the rebels and torn apart. Martha finds herself coerced into joining the rebel ranks, participating in acts of extreme violence while concealing her real identity. Amidst the chaos, she clings to the hope of escape, and eventually, an opportunity to flee arises.
