Along the way they find out that Abila’s father gambled away his soul with the mysterious spirit woman Nyawara. When the two teenagers find the witch in the darkest corner of the ghetto, she tells Abila he must solve seven cryptic riddles by the following morning if he wants to save his father’s soul.
