The story of Mlima, a majestic elephant struck down by poachers for his tusks. Beginning in a game park in Kenya and traveling around the world to a billionaire's penthouse in the West, the play tracks the trajectory of Mlima's tusks through the ivory trade market while his phantom follows close behind-marking all those involved as complicit in his death. Inspired by the real-life consequences of animal poaching, this is a story of human cruelty, greed and wavering values. Provided by publisher.
