Two Antandroy men, Makibefo and Bakoua, encounter a witch doctor as they escort a prisoner back to their village across the desert. The witch doctor, using sikidy, prophesizes a series of future events, including Makibefo's role as the destined king of his people. On their return to the village, Makibefo sees the witch doctor's prophecies begin to come true. He shares the prophecies with his wife, and she goads him into killing their king, Danikany. Makibefo becomes the new king, but ambition and fear drive him to kill others in the village that might threaten his position. He eventually faces a revolt by the families and friends of his victims.
