Inhalt

Sunday arrives at Hope of St. John College,after several hours of journey by road.This is his first time leaving home for boarding school. He is with his uncle, Eke who is an ex military personnel, and along with a hired driver.The school premise is pristine and picturesque like garden. It is late in the evening and a weekend.The Administrative block is a minute drive from the school gate.The block and other structures surrounding it are built by Colonial masters many years ago. Sunday likes the environment although he begins to feel homesick. Eke looks out for his friend and former colleague, Wilcox who is now a senior staff of the school.As the night progresses, Sunday and the driver fall asleep. Wilcox is not happy with Eke so he calls him aside. Wilcox asks Eke his reason for choosing the school for his nephew. When Wilcox questions Eke's loyalty to his brother, Sunday's father, it almost leads to a fisticuff. In a sudden moment, they hear a shriek which startles Sunday and the driver from sleep. Eke makes a sharp turn and sees a two-winged and fangs bearing monster. The door is broken down and the creature is about to attack him. Wilcox intervenes and tames it. He leads the monster to its room.After the incidence, the guests decide to leave. Wilcox warns them of the danger walking late outside.

It is day time over there and they are in the middle of a graveyard, with several thousand graves. A ghost walks out of his grave in white. When they look closer, they find out it is the student who died in place of Sunday. He doesn't hear them when they call his name.They are more curious and decide to follow the ghost.
