An ageing Jeebleh has returned to Somalia to visit old friends in his beloved Mogadiscio. He is accompanied by his son-in-law, Malik, a journalist intent on covering the region’s ongoing turmoil. Instead of the chaos, however, the two are greeted by an eerie calm, enforced by white-robed figures bearing whips. Soon, Malik’s brother, Ahl, arrives in Puntland, the region notorious as a pirates’ base. Ahl is searching for his stepson, who has vanished from the States, apparently recruited by an imam allied to Somalia’s rising insurgency.
