A small Maori village faces a crisis when the heir to the
leadership of the Ngati Konohi dies at birth and is
survived only by his twin sister, Pai. Although
disregarded by her grandfather and shunned by the village
people, twelve-year-old Pai remains certain of her calling
and trains herself in the ways and customs of her people.
With remarkable grace, Pai finds the strength to challenge
her family and embraces a thousand years of tradition in
order to fulfill her destiny
