Beneath a bruised plum sky, the Katanga Copperbelt bleeds crimson with the wealth of its earth. On this land of promise and peril, Isidore Mbemba stakes his claim, his dream woven into the abandoned Kisanga iron mine. He envisions a Congo free from the shackles of exploitation, a future forged by Congolese hands. But Kisanga whispers of a curse, a vengeful spirit guarding its depths.
Isidore’s ambition draws him into a pact with Roy Dunn, an American investor whose charm masks a predatory gaze. He finds an unlikely ally in Mary Lamb, a Canadian engineer haunted by a past mine’s collapse, who sees in Isidore a shared desire for responsible development. But Mark Martin, a former miner bearing the scars of Kisanga’s past, sees only a pawn in a dangerous game. He believes Dunn’s intentions reach far beyond profit, entwined with a shadowy network that thrives on Congo’s instability.
Torn between his family’s conflicting hopes and fears, Isidore navigates a treacherous landscape of permits and promises. A series of “accidents” plague the mine, fueling whispers of the curse and eroding the community’s trust. Mary’s engineering expertise reveals a sinister pattern—sabotage. Is Dunn the architect of Kisanga’s misfortunes, or is something more ancient at play?
As Mark rallies the community against the mine, Isidore confronts the chilling truth: the curse of Kisanga is not supernatural, but a meticulously crafted conspiracy. He’s entangled in a web of deceit, his dream teetering on the precipice of disaster. With Mary and Mark, he must expose the hidden network pulling the strings before it claims Kisanga and its people, forever binding them to a cycle of exploitation. Can they break the curse, or will they become its next victims?
