The village of Tombo has flourished in the Freetown Peninsula since pre-colonial times, its people harvesting from the sea, yet taking care of it so that it continues to feed future generations. But for decades now, this prosperity has been on the decline due to an influx of Asian trawlers, colloquially named chigie-chorga by the locals, overfishing on their shores with clandestine support from corrupt officials. The women of the village are also losing work as most of them earn a living processing the catch and selling at the market. Their husbands and sons are frequently forced to abandon fishing in Tombo and look for work in other countries. With outright corruption and neglect from the government, the fish population on their shores are dwindling and their livelihoods are beginning to disappear. Sullay and Woodie work to unite their unravelling community, but will they succeed against these powerful odds?
