Gerund found it silly to hear stories about the ancients of their village. It was rumored that they possessed the power to change into lions. 

The village closest to his always instilled fear in him.  Their plan involved attacking his village, murdering their women, and abducting their sons.

When Gerund's wife, Shakir, gets kidnapped by a neighboring village, anger and despair unleash the lion within him. She has been deceived into thinking her kidnapper is her husband. 

The truth is finally revealed after nearly two decades.

What was once dangerous now poses a threat to survival.
