Description
Ijapa’s cunning and deviousness take a diabolical turn when, added to his greed for money, he treats a young boy he initially rescues from danger in such an incredibly cruel and outrageously dangerous way that sends shock waves to those around him.
Rere, an aspiring hunter, goes into the deep forest to hunt, not heeding his parents’ warning about the dangers involved. Regretting his action when he runs into serious and harrowing problems, and almost drowns, he has no idea what else lies in store for him when he is rescued by Ijapa who now lives at the outskirts of a nearby town.
Discovering Rere’s unusual singing gift that draws the attention of passers-by, and spurs them on to dance, Ijapa deviates from his initial kindness to the boy. He entraps Rere in a makeshift drum, commands him to sing and makes money out of him anytime and anywhere he chooses. Soon Ijapa is known far and near for his ‘magical drum that sings’. Can Rere’s use of his singing gift to forge a way out of the precarious situation he finds himself yield dividend, and if so, how? Can Ijapa get away with this shocking and appalling behaviour?
