The story of the powerful Okuhle tribe and their war against the Khanya people, who have been raiding their cattle and killing their women and children.
Making the situation even more complex is that Khombindlela, the Okuhle king, finds his tribe on the brink of harsh repercussions from a prophecy that hangs over his head.
This prophecy not only threatens his lineage of the rule of his true heir but also gives him the unnerving task of ensuring it does not come to fruition.
Heavy indeed is the head that wears the crown...
