Mama Lucy lives happily in Njoku, on the slopes of Mount Cameroon, with her sons Kauk and Negu. On a rainy day in the month of August, Kauk chases a fox down to a nearby agricultural estate. There he meets a gentleman who helps him to achieve great success as a trader in a nearby town. Kauks business expands so fast that he brings Negu down to work for him. Negus excitement quickly turns to resentment: he feels cheated, humiliated, and enslaved. A frightful dream finally compels Kauk to send his embittered brother back to the village. To take advantage of a new trend in the market town, Kauk goes back to the village too and takes over the family land. There is nothing the weakened and helpless Negu can do to stop his powerful brother. Kauk is later forced to move out of the village when Negu and his friends scheme against him. Negus joy as owner of his brothers former farm is short-lived as he runs into disaster. At the end, even the affluent Kauk cannot stand.
