In Sonokrom, a village in the hinterland of Ghana, the language of the forest is still spoken, aphrodisiac palm wine is consumed, and one walks with the spirits of the ancestors. However, a deeply disturbing discovery and the simultaneous disappearance of a villager disrupt the rural tranquility. If it weren't for the involvement of the minister's mistress, the case would have long been put to rest. The urbanite Kayo, a forensic pathologist and proponent of scientific reasoning, is tasked with solving the case. As the situation becomes increasingly incomprehensible, Kayo must realize that Western logic has its limits.
