Sierra Leone. January, 1999. Not a safe place to be. Especially if, like Femi, you're a young chimpanzee looking for adventure. He is seeking the advice of the mythical Cotton Keeper on how to leave his starving tribe behind and strike out on his own. Unfortunately, Femi couldn't have chosen a worse time for his quest. Because the Big-Walkers are at war. Even as he treks towards his destination, the Big-Walkers race across the country on the backs of their growling, metal beasts, brandishing their magic, metal, killing arms. If Femi wants to speak to the Cotton Keeper, he will have to get to her before the Big-Walkers do.
