Opis

In Accra, Ghana, brothers Baako and Adofo grow up hearing stories about their ancestors and the mysterious creatures and spirits surrounding them. One of the most dangerous of these creatures is the Obtuse Bear.

The Obtuse Bear is found in the middle of the wilderness, in a cage built by an unknown entity. The Obtuse can talk and enjoys conversation with others. He pleads with anyone who will listen to help him out of his cage. But no one ever should.

Baako scoffs at this story. No such bear could exist. He insults the elders and storms home. It isn't until later that he remembers the story, when he meets a bear in a cage...

The arrogant Baako falls for the Obtuse's tricks and frees him from the cage, only to find that the Obtuse is not so friendly after all. The bear begins slaughtering the entire village without remorse.

It is his younger brother, Adofo, who endeavors to trap the bear. He must use all his courage and wiles to play the bear's own game and trick it into surrendering. Can Adofo get the best of this unknown evil, or will the Obtuse destroy everything he loves?
