Coltan, or blue gold, is a rare mineral used in making cell phones and computers. Across continents, the lives of three teen girls are affected by the blue gold trade. Sylvie's family had to flee the Democratic Republic of the Congo after her father was killed by a rogue militia gang in the conflict for control of coltan. The refugee camp where she now lives is deplorable, and Sylvie yearns for a way out -- to save not only herself, but her remaining family.
