In a rural village in nineteenth-century Nigeria, British colonial rule is finally starting to loosen its grip. As a new generation of educated locals seize their chance to take back power, a deadly disease threatens to wipe out their invaluable cocoa crop and end their village for good. In the Yoruba land of west Nigeria, the village of Ipaja faces a crisis - one of identity, power, and famine. At the center are two young men with very different ideas on how to prevent the oncoming catastrophe. Although they both claim to have the village's best intentions at heart, neither can deny the power they stand to gain if the other one fails. As tensions rise, the village must decide who they can trust and who will be able to save them from a deadly disaster...
