Inspired by real events, this is the story of sixteen-year-old Angel-of-Death and ten-year-old No-Mercy, child-rebels who were forced to fight for the Revolutionary United Front in Sierra Leone. As the war nears its end in 2001, they are separated. They had wanted to stop fighting and live together as sisters, but now they must fight the rebels they had served, fight the agencies that would separate them forever, and fight the child traffickers who pursue them. Is this what peace was?
