Yemi is a student who also has to deal with the fact that her father is seriously ill in hospital. Along with her brother Lucas, she spends much of her free time sitting by their father's bedside but the doctors have told to prepare for the worse. Her brother Lucas says he may seek the assistance of someone who know about traditional healers but Yemi dismisses the idea. When Lucas disappears however, she finds an address among his possessions and goes to an old abandoned house where she finds strange markings on the wall, blood on the floor and her brother's name written on a candle. When she returns to the house the next day with the police, something is clearly wrong. The house has now been painted, is furnished and the people there claim they have lived in the property for two years. Unable to explain what may have happened, she approaches Dr. Andrew Gemill for help in understanding what is going on.

Yemi returns to London accompanied by William but she starts to see familiar faces following her and runs off. William and Douglas visit a traditional healer for information. He confirms the rumors that some practitioners of muti, a traditional form of healing, may be using human rather than animal parts, but that's all he knows, rumors. Back at the university meanwhile, Megan starts to receive e-mails from someone warning them all that they are being watched. Douglas makes a connection to a well-healed businessman with connections to Africa and perhaps to Yemi's father.
