Dakarai, a young African forest elephant, has grown up on the stories of his father, the great tusker king, Ajamu, one of the seven great tusker superheroes. It is not only his birthright to follow in his father’s footsteps but also his greatest desire. Hidden and sheltered from the ongoing war, Dakarai finds himself unprepared when the time comes to join. With their very existence at stake, Dakarai must master his abilities and self-doubts to face the greatest evil in the jungle. If he doesn’t prevail, all is lost.
