Nooran, a carefree and defiantly independent, is a tribal woman learning the ancient art of healing from her grandmother, a revered scorpion singer.

But even before they can get to know each other better, Nooran is poisoned by a treachery that sets her on a perilous journey to avenge herself and find her song.
