Tijan, a London born young teenage African boy (Edward Kagutuzi) is taken by his mother (Genevieve Nnaji) to visit Gambia for the first time in his life. Whilst visiting a crowded street market he suddenly becomes seperated from his mother and soon finds himself lost in the African wilderness.
Bewildered and confused, to find his way back he must embark on a journey of self-discovery, where the lines between reality and fanstasy, physical and spiritual become forever blurred.
He encounters an evil Queen (Fatima Jabbe) who wields her magical powers against his innocent presence as he is led on the journey by the mysterious Mirror Boy (Osita Iheme), who is only visible to him.
A mystical and cathartic climax helps Tijan to unravel the mystery of The Mirror Boy and why only he can see him, which leads him towards his inter-twined fate with a father he has never met.
