A life-threatening drought plagues the eNkalweni queendom, and the prodigal daughter has come of age and has returned to find her mother’s bones and restore ubuHlubi magic. However, she has been cursed with a serious drinking problem that developed during her years in exile. Will Khusela find her mother’s bones so that she can perform the sacred ritual to bring back the rain? Or will her quest prove to be futile against the drinking curse and Zwelibanzi’s dark magic
