Set in the 16th century, before the arrival of colonialists, an impending war between the flourishing Igala Kingdom and the mighty Bini Kingdom led by Oba Esigie looms over the flourishing Igala Kingdom. To avert the war, King Attah Ayegba of the Igala Kingdom consults the oracle to learn what the gods are thinking.
