In the 19th century West Africa, the Kingdom of Dahomey thrives as a powerful state due to its highly trained all-female military regiment, the Agojie. These fierce warrior women are unmatched in skill and dedication, serving their king with unrivaled loyalty and prowess. Their formidable leader, a seasoned general, embodies the strength and spirit of the regiment. She is a pillar of resilience and tactical intelligence, steering her warriors through countless battles to protect their kingdom and maintain its sovereignty.

As the threat of foreign enemies and the malevolent encroachment of the slave trade cast a shadow over Dahomey, the general finds herself taking a gifted recruit under her wing. The young woman is eager but inexperienced and harbors a burning desire to prove her worth among the Agojie ranks. Under the general's rigorous training and mentoring, the recruit is pushed to her limits as she learns the weight of her ancestors' legacy and the cost of fighting for her people’s freedom. The clash of cultures, the struggle against imperialism, and the complex moral landscape of war carve the journey for these women warriors, as their courage redefines the fate of their people before a world on the cusp of change.
