Mali’s running out of ideas. After organizing a peaceful protest at the Harlem Black Lives Matter mural, an unidentified person threw a Molotov cocktail into the crowd, inciting fights, shootings, and a riot. Mali escaped to the 116th street train station, tired, nearly shot, and feeling defeated. Nearby, a Kora Player plays peacefully. But as Mali’s anger intensifies, so does the music, sending Mali into some altered state of consciousness.
​
Mali regains her senses, only to find herself no longer at the train station, but in Esu's territory: Chaos Realm. With her are four other individuals, all of whom are unsure how they arrived. As Mali and the group look for a way out, they soon discover an unbelievable truth: each one of them is actually the same person…from a different reality. Now, Mali and her other “selves” must work together, not just to return to their realities…but to go back with the key to helping their people…and their worlds.
