A village's chief priest, keeper of the harvest god, is jailed for defying British rule, and returns to refuse the date of the New Yam Feast in protest, starving his people toward the missionaries and losing his mind.

The world is like a Mask dancing. If you want to see it well you do not stand in one place.
