Ezra, a sixteen-year-old boy raised in a harsh desert tribe where women are undervalued and strength is proven through violence, faces a pivotal rite of passage. As he nears manhood, he's pressured to complete a horrendous task to ensure his rights into manhood and to be allowed to go on his first mission and will cement his status in the tribe. Torn between this expectation and the moral teachings of his mother, Ezra stands at a crossroads: will he follow the brutal legacy his father desires, risking becoming the "demon" expected of him, or will he honor his mother's guiding principles and forge his own path?
