Description:

Raya, a young girl living in a Nairobi ghetto, finds herself having to choose between her friends and her mother, who is caught up in sexual and drug abuse. Raya finds herself as a victim of the harsh reality of choosing logic over emotion. Whichever choice she makes there will be a winner and a loser. The story is made more interesting because it is the female who is the boss.
