In the village of Iyi, people worship the mermaid deity Mami Wata and turn to their healer Mama Efe, Mama Efe’s daughter Zinwe and her protégée Prisca as intermediaries to the revered. When children begin to die and disappear, local resident Jabi casts doubt on the population, while Zinwe flees, driven by her own anguish. Soon, the arrival of rebellious warlord Jasper tips the scales in Jabi’s favor. With the village under new control, Prisca and Zinwe must plot to save their people and restore Mami Wata’s glory to Iyi.
