Keeley Okiro, a Congolese-American, is living an African nightmare. Back in Congo to bury her father, she's kidnapped in a rebel attack and force-marched with other prisoners through the Virunga Mountains. They're carrying a small fortune in refined coltan, the mineral used to manufacture cell phones, stolen from the government by a diabolical rebel captain and his blood-thirsty men. This brutal rebel is no stranger to Keeley. They played together as children during a more innocent time, and now he intends to take her-as his wife, or if necessary, his prisoner.Her only hope of rescue is Pastor Din, another childhood friend, and her soon-to-be fiancé, JT Chen, a former U.S. Special Forces soldier. It's a long way back to the streets of San Francisco's Tenderloin District, where Keeley works as social worker and champion of the city's underserved. If Din and JT fail, Keeley faces a similar heart wrenching fate that has befallen so many of Congo's daughters. To be pressed into the rebel life.
