Synopsis
On a Caribbean-colonized planet monitored by an AI called Granny Nanny, young Tan-Tan is exiled with her father to a wild dimension where humans coexist with alien creatures. Drawing on Afro-Caribbean folklore and the tradition of the midnight robber storyteller, she transforms from victim to folk hero.
