So while faced with a life-and-death situation, the tribespeople ventured out on an uncertain journey that led to dramatic changes in their community life.

A New Day
Located off the African coast, Àdàbí was an island town that had been divided by its king into two - a free region to the north and an enslaved region to the south. Following the king's sudden death by animal attack, the town's residents felt terribly uncertain about the town's future. But unknown to the townspeople after the king's passing, certain developments were setting the stage for a truly remarkable change in this island community.

But in an unexpected turn of events, unresolved cases of minor theft became more and more common in this place until the most unbelievable crime of stealing took place right at the village center. While the villagers were deeply upset about the theft of their collective wealth, they hurriedly resolved to discover the truth at all costs.
