Some demons don't live in hell.
They live in the West Slum.
When Elias Mwangi, a young journalist chasing stories of corruption and decay, returns to his father's old neighborhood, he expects poverty and danger-but not the impossible.
After a mysterious girl named Maya appears amid a series of ritual murders, Elias discovers that the slum hides an ancient secret buried under its streets: a gate sealed with human blood thirty years ago.
Now the dead whisper through radio static. Police officers chant in forgotten tongues. And the church bells toll for something that was never human.
To save Maya-and himself-Elias must uncover what his father began and face the creature that has been waiting beneath the city for generations: Belial, the demon of order, hunger, and silence.
But every answer has a price, and every truth demands blood.
Demons of the West Slum blends African urban life, myth, and supernatural horror in a dark, cinematic story about faith, corruption, and the things that live in our shadows.
