Nala is just your ordinary teen. Unless you discover that she is never bitten by mosquitoes. For a science project in school, she is paired up with a girl who just happens to be the daughter of the president of a drug manufacturing business.  When he hears about Nala, he is determined to find out why. Can you imagine a world where you can prevent mosquito bites? Not just the inconvenience of them but the diseases they cause. Like malaria. Nala's father stayed in Kenya after her mother's accident. She only sees him through facetime now. But now she has a chance to go to Kenya and meet her entire extended family. If they agree to be tested by the drug company. Nala thinks she is doing a good thing but things may not be as they appear.
