Sitting in the world's highest mountain valley, Lord Opaji lives by the same words that molded his great city: If progress is your goal, you will die pursuing it. Chigou's founder declares his city to be society's greatest accomplishment; a competitive theater for ambitions, ideologies and life itself.
A Civil Enforcer searches for a new purpose as he tries to escape the violent conflict of his past. A young farmer strives to make a bigger difference after she takes charge of a child, one tragically snared by a growing conflict. They are all visited by the young heir of an industrial empire, and questions quickly arise over the foreigner's true intentions.
As their lives unexpectedly collide, they begin to discover a subversive power emerging from the shadows. They must decide to face the threat, or run towards something else known only through tales and legends. Their decisions will not only change their lives, but could alter the course of their entire society.
