| Summary |
Dramaan Drameh is a respected, convivial shopkeeper in the tiny village of Colobane. But a forgotten act of cruelty committed thirty years in his past comes back to haunt him when the young girl he impregnated and abandoned returns seeking revenge. Now a weary, calculating millionairess, Linguere Ramatou offers the citizens of Colobane her riches in exchange for just one thing: the life of the man who betrayed her. Dramaan's neighbours at first scoff at Linguere's gruesome offer but -- dazzled by the televisions, cigarettes and refrigerators Linguere's money can buy -- they begin to reconsider their allegiance to Colobane's once beloved merchant... and "the reign of the hyenas" begins.
