Privileged fifteen-year-old Sabine’s life inevitably changed when military President, General Idi Amin declares “all Indians will be weeded out” of Uganda in ninety days. As Ugandan citizens of Indian origin, Sabine’s family thinks they are safe. But, as the countdown relentlessly continues and violence escalates, the anger of the Ugandan population forces Sabine to confront her family’s privileged status in a country of poverty and inequality. When even Sabine’s closest friend turns from her, Sabine’s sense of disbelief and shock give way to the brutal necessity of escaping from the country she had thought was her home.
