A Goat herder has three daughters, three daughters he simply does not deserve. Cruel, obnoxious, and feebleminded this man is, to beat and harass his daughters whenever a goat should stray from its herd. He cares for the goats more than he does his flesh and blood, and would sooner sacrifice his daughters over the herd that he leads. One day though, two daughters encounter a very unique being, one that offers them a way out…an offer….but they refuse…the third and youngest of the three…well…her life takes quite a different path.
