Benson Kento suddenly vanishes. The mystery defies modern criminal investigation theories and methods. Is he dead or living dead? Amaka Kento and her father, Benson, are spiritual twins. She makes a supernatural vow as a child to solve the mystery of her vanished father to restore the psychical equilibrium in the human and supernatural planes. Her specialisation as a proactive theatre arts practitioner imbues her with the spiritual resource to redeem her vow. Kimberly Dudu is an egomaniac entrepreneur-politician without scruples. He is also a libertine. Yet he succeeds in employing various monstrous schemes to secure and perpetuate himself in top political office. Tupuoana Al Kadil has attained super-normal genius as a mystic, diviner and medical scientist. But he contravenes his supernatural mandate when challenged to accomplish an unprecedented scientific feat. Ajamuo is a supernatural agent of justice that materialises as a dog, and eventually avenges a gruesome murder. The human and superhuman protagonists in this song of Justice interact in vicious and solemn plots that traverse mystical and mundane planes, as well as across continents and cultural sensibilities. Justice adopts the indigenous African triadic literature (integration of narrative, poetry and drama) to tell a contemporary African story that also spotlights African mystical sciences. The story-line tracks the human tragedies and traumas inflicted by current social-political criminalities as well as the conflicts of fashionable morality afflicting global humanity.
