In a village where every man, woman and child live the same life and aspire to be nothing out of the ordinary, Aetna is a passionate young woman, desperate for change in her ordinary life. She knows she was born for more reasons than to live as a clone of her society, doing meagre tasks such as helping her mother in the kitchen and making her father tea. She wants education, adventure and mystery, she wants to be free. She wants all these things, but knows it's only a dream of hers than can never come true. Then, she meets Azlan, who comes into her life like the light at the end of a dark tunnel. He is all she ever dreamt of and more and around him, she feels the closest thing to love that she has ever felt. In a world where love is her greatest sin, Aetna tries hard to stop the storm forming inside her from emerging, but will she choose to be a clone of culture, or will she embrace the thunder? And is she ready to face the consequences of her unlikely decisions, no matter how harsh they may be? Is a second of freedom, a minute of love, worth more than a life without reason?
