Sakobi, who belongs to the cult of Kongodis and worships the goddess known as the Mighty Serpent, instructs Frank to sacrifice his only daughter, Hope, for rituals. Another condition set by Sakobi is that Frank must marry her, which leads Frank to abandon his family. In the end, the goddess rejects the sacrifice of Hope and curses Frank with a short life.
