Lopepe nació en un poblado africano llamado Kimotong y creció ayudando a su familia. Pero un domingo de verano todo cambió, cuando un grupo de soldados rebeldes irrumpió en su pueblo formando un gran alboroto y secuestró a un gran grupo de niños, entre los cuales se encontraba Lopepe. Guiado por tres amigos muy especiales, consiguió escapar y llegar a un campo de refugiados que lo acogió.
