It’s 2003 in Guinea-Bissau, and the military has declared a coup. Amidst the violent chaos, a trio of infamous mercenaries called Bangui’s Hyenas are on a mission to smuggle a notorious drug dealer out of the country. When their trip is forced off course by an unexpected complication, the Hyenas find themselves laying low on an isolated nature preserve in Saloum, Senegal, surrounded by the massive river that is the Sine-Saloum Delta. What first seems like a relaxing layover for the weary group, slowly transforms into a waking nightmare, filled with the sinister folklore and rumored curses of this remote land. As haunting memories begin to consume one of their own, the Hyenas find themselves in a danger far darker than exposure for their illegal activity. An enthralling tale from beginning to end, SALOUM is a supernatural thriller filled with secrets, twists, and unlikely heroes. In this mystical genre-crossing journey, nothing is as it appears. —G.S.
