Ulomma (Onyeka Onwenu) is married to Obasi (Justus Esiri). Having been unable to bear children for a long time, Ulomma faces ridicule and taunts, which prompt the family to bring in a new wife for Obasi. Amidst this family drama, the village's chief priest dies. Seeking spiritual guidance, Ulomma turns to a white Catholic priest and prays for a child, vowing that the child will serve Jesus if her prayer is answered. Meanwhile, Obasi visits the village's traditional shrine and pledges his child's devotion to that deity if his prayer is granted. Eventually, Ulomma becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son, leading to a conflict between the parents who have pledged their child's devotion to different gods.
