The book is about the IYI-UKU community where a birthmark is seen to be evil. In this community, children are dedicated to the gods three days after delivery by throwing the child into the river as a form of initiation. When the child comes out dead, it is attributed to the child being evil. Usually, it's a known fact that children born with a birthmark don't survive this ceremony. Nugwa happens to be one of them. During his dedication, he miraculously survived and grew up to become the community king who changed the evil tradition.
