René Descartes: “I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am.”
As a result of his horrific childhood and life's failure, John has become a depressive. He is stumbled across by Ben who looks to save John from the suicide that he had decided upon - their friendship based on deep philosophical debates on their opposing and passionately-held religious views.
Chasca lives in a very different place, a walled fortress city which is set deep within jungles and mountains. She is charged with looking after wellbeing of 'the Messiah', the deity who is worshipped by the empire's new religion and provides them with miraculous insights.
When the two worlds unexpectedly collide, Chasca and John are forced to escape the warped plan to cement the religion's grip on its people. Meanwhile, John struggles to come to terms with the bizarre situation he finds himself in. They retreat to a mountain village from where Chasca believes that John will lead them to victory over the religion's evil rule.
