With an ancestry replete with frivolity and voodoo diabolic that is doomed to devolve and spiral, Mark Elemmuo, though with a humble beginning, goes to Lagos to learn a trade with Cyriacus. He, by the whiskers, escapes being used as a victim for a ritual sacrifice by Cyriacus and 'The Brotherhood.' With little funds in his pocket, and while thinking his neck free of the noose, his life explodes into a series of bizarre experiences. And so, Mark has to survive the topsy-turvy maze of Lagos; a city in which you must work very hard for even the ordinary air you breathe. His crucible is made more complex in his hometown. The vendetta of the 'Ave Cult' looms large over his head and virtually hangs on his neck like an Albatross-thus he and his cousin must move like lightning-while calling on the wits of the cat with nine lives.
