Synopsis

A world beyond
the familiar.

Fight for your destiny.

Naomi is grieving her mother when her father lets her keep a strange necklace. On a drive, the car stops and she can no longer see him. She has found her way somewhere else: a forest where armed fighters are at war, and where a girl who appears from nowhere is someone to hunt, or to protect.
