Achebe has devious plans that require T’Challa’s unwitting participation and a spell book called the Book of Sins. It turns out that the prince’s instincts are correct, as Bob is really Achebe, a politician with seemingly irresistible charm who has been wielding his power to influence the townspeople. Immediately, T’Challa gets a strange feeling about Bob, sensing that things are not what they seem with him. But their revelry quickly gets interrupted thanks to a strange figure T’Challa encounters on multiple occasions, an acrobat called the Amazing Bob.

When strange events start to take place, T’Challa begins to think that it’s no coincidence that Achebe arrived in Beaumont at the same time he did. The small town has fallen under the sway of a charismatic politician named Achebe who is there to retrieve a spell book full of dark magic. T’Challa is excited to see his friends, but his fun summer vacation quickly turns into a nightmare.
