Deji is a charismatic young man from an average family that runs a long-standing fertilizer business. Despite the family's success, rumors swirl that the Akanni men use their wives for money rituals—his uncle has no children despite many marriages, and his mother has a mental illness. Wanting to escape the family's dark spiritual history, Deji moves abroad, earns a master's degree, and builds a successful career in America, choosing to distance himself from both his family and their business.
