Ostracized from society after committing a gruesome and seemingly unmotivated double murder, John Wallace has lost his fiancée and his future. But even a man with nothing left to lose has something left to fear: Naisha, the witch who wants him dead. On the run after breaking out of prison, Wallace joins a hunting party as a guide, but only to get closer to the highlands of Lake Tana, where a former fellow inmate claimed a treasure was hidden. Wallace plans to use it to beat his retreat from Africa... but will his hopes be dashed?
