Fallen ashes
In a country drowning in corruption, poverty, and growing insecurity, David Adebayo, a twenty-year-old recent graduate, struggles to survive alone in Lagos. Intelligent, observant, introverted, and guided by strict logic, David keeps a low profile in a society that devours the weak. His only real friend is Toya, his cold-hearted but fiercely loyal companion—always smiling, always calculating, and always ready to fight beside him. Both young men share ambition, discipline, and the undeniable frustration of being trapped in a collapsing system.
But when Nigeria’s worsening instability spirals into brutal street crimes and David witnesses a helpless youth about to be murdered by robbers on Lagos Island Bridge, something in him snaps. He jumps in to help—and pays the price. Shot and thrown off the bridge into the ocean, he is believed dead.
Instead, David is saved by the secretive Umongo Tribe, a hidden people with ancient knowledge of body hardening, spiritual endurance, and animal-like speed, strength, and senses. Over three rigorous years, David’s flesh becomes as tough as stone, his reflexes surpass the cheetah, and his mind sharpens like a fox hunting in the dark. He becomes something new—a weapon shaped by tradition, discipline, and pain.
When he finally returns to Lagos, bigger, stronger, and unrecognizable, he is met with Toya’s shock… and curiosity. After hearing David’s story, Toya asks a single question that sets the tone for the rest of their lives:
“Are you still going to be a vigilante?”
Their answer builds a pact of blood.
While scouting for a hideout in an abandoned building, they encounter Benson “Ben” Chukwuma, a young Igbo boy quietly eating gala by a window—who immediately senses the spiritual heat radiating off them. Ben is gifted with supernatural sight: he can see spirits, track auras, nullify curses, and return spiritual attacks. Though Christian, he understands the unseen world better than anyone alive. And he’s been waiting for a purpose.
He deduces their intentions instantly… and joins them.
Now, the three form an unlikely brotherhood:
David, the hardened warrior forged by an ancient tribe.
Toya, the smiling strategist with a ruthless edge.
Ben, the supernatural prodigy who sees what others cannot.
Together, they dive into Lagos’s darkest corners—fighting crime, confronting cults, exposing corruption, battling spiritual threats, and facing enemies both human and inhuman.
The city thinks it’s falling apart.
But for the first time… it might finally have protectors.
A story of action, brotherhood, spirituality, and the harsh reality of modern Nigeria, blending intense combat, sharp comedy, raw emotion, and a deep exploration of survival in a broken system.
