About this episode
A deathbed oath. A thousand ancestral voices, screaming. And a son who cannot obey both. Salu is twenty-two summers old when his dying father makes him swear on the bloodline to become chief. In the same breath, the ancestors break through: a spiritual sickness is spreading from the abandoned sacred site deep in the jungle, and only a shaman can see it, let alone heal it. Torn between the role he was raised for and the gift he has spent years hiding, Salu turns to his younger brother Keth, to a hidden lake where the spirits fall silent, and to a night of ritual fire beneath a canopy so thick the stars disappear. A mythic, slow-burning coming-of-age story about inheritance and identity. The real question isn't which path Salu takes. It's who decided he could only have one.
