Synopsis:

In "GHOST METAL Series" we follow the gripping journey of Amara, an apprehensive illegal immigrant living in the United States. Amara's life takes a dangerous turn when she becomes the target of blackmail by an immigration agent with a gambling problem who threatens to expose her wanted status unless she complies with his demands.
With her back against the wall and facing the looming threat of deportation back to Africa, where she's wanted for a crime she didn't commit. She decides to team up with Freya, her quirky, cosplay-obsessed co-worker. Freya recognizes the potential of her unique gift and convinces Amara to take matters into her own hands to secure her and her daughter’s (Esi) freedom and evade deportation.

They embark on a risky venture to manufacture and sell illegal all-plastic ghost guns. Together, they navigate the dangerous underworld of weapon trafficking, using Amara's special hardening power to create undetectable firearms that evade traditional security measures.

As they delve deeper into their criminal enterprise, Amara and Freya must outsmart law enforcement, evade the clutches of the immigration agent, and confront their own moral dilemmas. With every sale, they inch closer to their goal of financial independence and freedom from persecution. But with the stakes higher than ever, Amara must confront her past and come to terms with the consequences of her actions before it's too late.
Ghost Metal is a thrilling tale of survival, resilience, and the lengths one will go to secure a better future for her daughter. As Amara and Freya navigate the murky waters of crime and corruption, they discover the true meaning of friendship, sacrifice, and the power of sisterhood, no matter the cost.
