She's separated from her little sister but returns to see her a year later against Ghizon's rules, only to discover that since she left her town, Black children have been forced into violence and crime. With her ancestors' power inside her, Rue must find a way to save her neighbourhood before the evil plaguing it destroys everything and everyone.
