In the arid hinterland of Olmoran town Chepondor ;an illiterate Pokot woman trudges through life as a second wife enduring loss, struggle and societal injustice metted on women in her patriarchal nomadic community.

Cherot, her younger daughter is a vibrant, ambitious, intelligent girl. A visionary determined to forge her own path and not relive her mother's past.

Kakut is Chepondor's husband and Cherot's father. An archetypal Pokot man. Set in his ways. Reverent to tradition and culture. Resistant to change. Hell bent on ensuring his wives and daughter bend to the will of the tribe.

Will Kakut embrace his daughter's great expectations or lay them to rest as delusions deigned to threaten the nomadic way of life? What is to become of Chepondor, trapped between two comets on an inevitable collision course with destiny?
