Pa Kong-Kong is a mysterious man who carries a strange bag on his back, and no one knows what’s inside. Ru- mour has it he tortures little thieves, runaways and naughty children. He lives alone in Ñetty Mbar, a deserted, gloomy market in the suburbs of Dakar where, at night, a terrifying monster-like dog lurks. Binta, a curious and courageous girl, decides to confront Pa Kong-Kong in the middle of the night. She’s scared, but determined to prove that her friends were wrong to not pick a girl as their leader. They agree that if she succeeds, she’ll become the leader of their little gang.
