In the lead-up to his lecture at the Temple, Tum Aanum, an African-American psychologist and student teacher,

faces a formidable task. He must leverage his expertise to deliver thorough instruction and extend invitations to

the Temple.

As the clock ticks down, the pressure mounts for him to both draw in attendees and adequately prepare for his

forthcoming teachings about ancestors and African deities. The culmination of this high-stakes journey takes

place during the temple lecture, where Tum's knowledge takes center stage, with the hope that not only will

people attend but that their reactions will reflect a profound impact.
