Das am Meer gelegene Dorf Iyi ist in spirituellem Einklang mit der westafrikanischen Meerjungfrauengöttin MAMI WATA. Doch eines Tages konnten die Heilkräfte von Mama Efe, der Vermittlerin zwischen den Dorfbewohnern und der Göttin, das Leben eines Kindes nicht mehr retten. Hätte moderne Medizin das Kind retten können? Jabi, ein Bewohner der Region, stellt daraufhin die bestehende matriarchale spirituelle Ordnung in Frage.
