Irmtraut Eickelschaft plays in the upper league of nightmare bosses. In the 'Shark Kingdom' where she resides, staying one step ahead has as literal a meaning as it gets. When her fierce rival Nadia speaks during a tense meeting with Chinese investors in what sounds like perfect Chinese, she realizes that she has to act.

That act pushes her from her life in her native Germany and lands her in Africa, a place she has so far only seen on TV. And not necessarily in good light. Philister Taa, barely surviving on Nairobi streets sets out for 'Majuu', a place where according to her 'knowledgeable' friend Tamaa Matano is the gateway to riches and success.

The two women set out on a journey in opposite directions, to Germany and to Kenya. Two countries that have only one thing in common; their differences.
