Als Geflüchtete, deren Eltern von der Feuernation getötet wurden, wird sie von ihrer Vergangenheit heimgesucht. So unauffällig wie möglich kümmert sie sich in der Inneren Mauer um ihren gebrechlichen Großvater und bemüht sich um den Spagat zwischen Schule und nacktem Überleben.

Jin muss den mächtigen Kräften, die ihre Stadt kontrollieren, trotzen und alles für Susu riskieren ...
