Four young high school graduates from Yaoundé have been accepted to the Université Scientifique du Sahel (CSS) and are looking forward to studying at the ultra-modern university in the north of the country. But at the beginning of the new academic year, fellow students suddenly disappear, including the cousin of one of the group members. Together they decide to investigate, which leads them into the heart of Waza Park, where they are confronted with one of the oldest archaeological mysteries in the history of Cameroon.

CLAYE EDOU, born in Djoum, Cameroon, worked as an accountant before founding the animation studio Cledley Productions in Douala in 2014.
