There has been a drought and only The Plantation has the resources to bring water down to its fields. Most of the small farmers in town have been compelled to work for the Plantation. The majority of townspeople opt for solace in the congregation of Papa, a local preacher. Ajala, the community rebel dogged by creditors and cursed by Papa, mysteriously dies. After the creditors depart he rises up and plans to use his "resurrection" to bring down Papa and The Plantation but things do not go as planned.
