Mpengo's life is upended when his family moves to Hidden Village, a place where his grandfather is the witch doctor. As they journey through perilous terrain, Mpengo must navigate the challenge of living as a Christian in a community resistant to change. Will his faith help him find acceptance, or will he and his family remain outsiders in this new world? The stakes are high as Mpengo grapples with his beliefs and the village's traditions.
