'Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth.'
Behind a counter, Hodan Isse dreams. Drill, money, receipts, dreams, missing stock, bruises, friendship, dreams, an investigation, God, fractured foundations. Dreams.
We follow Hodan Isse, a young sales associate who is accused of stealing stock. To prove her innocence she decides to investigate and uncovers more than she expected.
