Rafiki, an out-of-luck musician, turned bounty hunter and debt collector, volunteers to help a failing shopkeeper find his debtors and collect the money they owe him. However, the mile long list of loan defaulters comprises of the town’s poorest residents, many of whom have changed their residences, their names and identities and gone underground.

Moreover, Rafiki’s friends, and relatives are on the list, and so is the Chief, and he has the power to arrest and detain Rafiki without trial.
