Alias is a young boy growing up in Central Africa. As an albino, he is the taunted and lives in terrible fear: witch doctors and locals believe that the bodies of albinos bestow magical power, which leads to the mutilation or even murder of many. After he witnesses his father’s murder, his mother sends him away to find refuge in his uncle’s care, in the city. Once there though, Alias finds himself prey to new dangers.
