Aisha and Zainab are sisters and best friends, the sort of friendship that develops from long years of shared life, then deepens in hopes of longer years of bonding. Life as milkmaids in a small village of herders sets a limit on their outlook but that does not hinder their aspirations.

Pretending to be Nigerian soldiers, terrorists in camouflage invade the village wedding and break up life as the sisters, and anyone for that matter, have known it.
