For twenty-three years, the sacred drum of Ekwuru has remained silent.
Then, one night, it sounds again.
As fear spreads through the village, young hunter Ikenna begins searching for answers. But what starts as a mysterious drumbeat soon leads him deep into a forbidden forest, where he discovers the body of an elder—and a broken pendant connected to his father, Odogwu, a man Ikenna was told died protecting Ekwuru.
But the elders are hiding something.
His childhood friend Ekene accuses his father of betraying the village.
His mother, Adaeze, reveals that the truth about his father's death is far different from what Ikenna has been told.
And when a mysterious message appears outside his home, Ikenna realizes that someone knows he has discovered the truth.
As night falls, a shadow watches Ekwuru from the forest...
And carries the other half of the pendant.
Who is watching Ikenna? What really happened to his father? And what oath was broken twenty-three years ago?
