Summary
In the middle of Africa lies an undisturbed ancient secret, darker and more mysterious than time, discovered by four long-time friends from South Africa. Working as expatriates in Africa, ex-military and engineers, they soon realise that they are not the first to have set foot on the ancient pathways as signs of former histories are evident, the most disturbing being found documents and laboratories, uncovers long lost secrecies of horrors. Bound by an ancient curse, Jason Michaels has to deceitfully convince his friends to go on a quest whilst trying to keep up with his family back home. Guided by a mysterious butler, Israel, who helps them through the journey. For the four brothers to survive the challenges faced, they will have to endure and rely on each other’s strengths and trust. With personal conflicts and sentimental memories of past and present, they have to face their own demons and learn how to differentiate between the dimensional and multiple riffs of reality on their quests, forcefully chained by an ancient curse and the awakening of the supernatural hunting them. A story of brotherhood, friendship, family and sacrifice.
