Joha: A World Apart

When Lia becomes witness to the barbaric acts of her leaders, her very existence becomes a problem.

As Lia attempts to escape her tyrant world, she must navigate her way through emotions she’s never experienced before and keep her new allies safe from a world that kills for sport.
