Mutupo – the totem – is an animal or object deemed sacred by a clan or tribe. For centuries Zimbabweans would stay in touch with their ancestry and the practices surrounding their culture by embracing Mutupo.
There are some who can see their totem animal's attributes as a superpower to augment their own physiology. Using Mutupo is not only rare – it's also highly illegal. Join Shingai on his journey of self-discovery as he finds himself coming up against other Mutupo users… and the police who oppose them.
