Synopsis: David was a just-for-namesake Ugandan Pastor, but inside he was a filthy rag. He died in a car accident, one night. His wife Honi, after hearing this refused to arrange the funeral because she thought that he would rise from the dead, as she was a better Christian. So, she along with her father, Daniel and David's best friend, Tony, took his body to a private place and prayed for 3 days. He rose up again alive on the third day.
As word spread, it irked the one-too-many religious groups in the district especially one group that was dormant for many years, the witchdoctors, who believed that David was their god and their ruler and decided to go him and welcome their so-called god.

Meanwhile David began preaching and became a good Christian. One day, the leader of the witchdoctors, Hazika approached him but he rebuked her but she denied to cease. David being fickle, gave in and decided to be their ruler after she showed him all the riches he would get. He abandoned Honi and married a wicked woman, Inan. But Honi kept her faith and kept going to him in disguise and asked him to come back. Inan came to know about this, she kidnapped Honi, got her raped and killed her with her own hands. Knowing this, David denounced witchcraft and ran back home but he wasn't welcomed there. However, he couldn't go back to the witchdoctors because they conspired against him. Thus, both the sides waged war against each other with the sole purpose of finding and killing David. Will David face his second death, and if he does, in whose hands?
