A secret from the past. A dangerous journey. One choice that could change everything.

On the day of her graduation ceremony, Irene’s life takes a dramatic turn when she learns that her American parents adopted her when she was just a few months old, and she goes on an identity quest. As a successful corporate officer, she seizes the opportunity to embark on a Self-discovery of her past when she leads a Starlink team to her country of origin. But before she can pursue the clues, she is forced to return home. Months later, she learns about a man who can unwind the secret of her past, but she must meet him in person. As her country of origin falls into chaos and lawlessness, a friend warns her of the dangerous journey she is contemplating.

Irene must decide whether to risk everything to uncover the truth about her origins—or stay safe and leave her questions unanswered. What will she choose?
