It's 1799 and the African slave trade is at its height. Chima - a
young Ibo blacksmith - is carried away with his whole village by
brutal slaveraiders. Chima and his best friend, Ofo - an Ibo
holyman - are sold to Virginia planters. There they struggle to
maintain their African identity, but in the end Chima's friend is
killed by a white overseer. To Chima the murder has also doomed his
friend's ghost to wander this inhospitable land forever. He kills
the overseer and escapes, barely eluding packs of dogs and white
slave hunters. Then, with every white hand set against him, he
travels west - seeking freedom in the lands where the sun goes to
rest. And where Arochuku - the sun god - reigns over all.
