Shigidi, der Gott der Albträume, will eigentlich nur eins: seine Zeit mit dem Succubus Nneoma genießen. Doch die Mächtigeren seines Pantheons haben andere Pläne für ihn, und wenn er seine Freiheit erlangen will, muss er ihnen gehorchen. Er erhält den Auftrag, ein mächtiges Artefakt aus dem Britischen Museum zu stehlen und in seine Heimat zurückzubringen. Für Nneoma kann er seinen düsteren Ursprung hinter sich lassen, er kann sogar ein Meisterdieb werden. Aber kann er die Götter retten? Und will er das überhaupt?

Together, they attempt to break free of his obligations and the restrictions that have bound him to his godhood and navigate the parameters of their new relationship in the shadow of her past. But the elder gods that run the Orisha spirit company have other plans for Shigidi.
