- Synopsis
- Queenie was an orphan from the Philippines with a high imagination. Inspired by female saint stories, she was convinced, she was daughter to a saint too busy to return, because she was busy “Being a rock-star like Prince.”
  
  30 years pass. Now, living in New York City as a Filipina immigrant, life has lost its magic. Her childhood memories are remembered with powerful magic-realism. They only come back with the meeting of a mysterious woman, L'Donna. After a night of ceremonious Ayahuasca, L'Donna mysteriously disappears , leaving only a note, a box with a map of her life, and a key to her storage in Queens, NY and a passport made for her.
  
  She now must embark on a 7 country journey sewing loose ends of L'Donna's life, discovering a life of her own, starting with the return of ancient powers, and ending with the rites of reign to hidden lands.
