A demon that's been haunting Western African countries for centuries and feeding on young children sets it's sights on a newborn boy(Odo). Faustin, who is Odo's father, has graduated from the Lagos College of Medicine and has eagerly landed a job in the United States at Johns Hopkins Hospital. The thought of moving to the United States seems to never leave his mind. He's been told about the demon while he was younger but he figures that he can protect his son and the future generations by leaving the Africa. His wife(Jeanine) is unsure about the existence of the demon and even finds it a little comical at times, but she's quite excited about a new life in a country of her dreams. But they don't know that the demon's reach is not limited to the boundaries of Africa. It is always ready to find anyone at anytime to murder and manipulate its way to getting whatever it wants. And it always gets what it wants.

Dr. Umar Fulani is a veteran brain surgeon at Johns Hopkins and a native of Nigeria. He struggles to raise his troubled son (Franklin) into a responsible man and decides to move him to another school for a positive environment. Franklin befriends another new student who is from Nigeria but struggles to fit in. The Nigerian student's awkwardness becomes far beyond the norm. As soon as Dr. Fulani lays eyes on him, a bad memory hits the doctor that causes him to completely lose his mind.
