Abandoned Gods tells the story of Nira, a young woman trekking the dark interiors of Sarawak with a sick child on her back to get to Kuching General Hospital, a hundred kilometres away. On the way, she meets a whole host of demons, spirits, ghouls and ghosts, and gets a little help from above, in the form of magical feathers from the seven omen birds of legend. Nira and her son, Aji, get caught up in the middle of an epic war aeons in the making, between the bunsu antu animal spirits, antu utai tumboh plant spirits and antu gerasi huntsman ghosts, along with the antu menoa river spirits and the antu pantang tattoo ghosts, which threatens to rip apart the very fabric of reality. Abandoned Gods is a dark tale of blood and tears, horror and hope, loyalty and enduring love.
