Soley is a little girl who is different from everyone in her tribe. Unlike the others she has golden hair shining like the sun. One day Soley and her family goes to a new marketplace. She makes new friends there. But when they ask her "why do you have golden hair?" she feels different and sad.

As Soley cries under a flame tree she falls asleep and finds herself in the Dreamland. There she meets the Mother Sun who has been waiting for Soley.
