Ji-min is the daughter of peasant farmers in near-future North Korea. She was born with enormous potential in a bleak world unable to nurture her dormant strength. When American-led sanctions crush the hermit kingdom's economy, she is thrown into conflict with the nation's elite. Powerless, her life collapses into unthinkable hardship. How can she survive if even good-hearted people have nothing to share? A mysterious stranger who wields unearthly talents senses the spark smoldering in Ji-min. The stranger's effort to foster that latent potential is threatened when fate offers Ji-min a chance at revenge, an opportunity that could ruin her.
