In a world ravaged by climate change, humanity has been reduced to primitive tribes struggling for survival. Burl, a young hunter, embarks on a journey beyond his familiar territory in search of sustenance and to impress Saya, a captivating member of his tribe. This adventure takes him into a landscape where insects and fungi thrive in the altered ecosystem, and where the remnants of human civilization lie buried beneath the dust of time. As Burl navigates this challenging world, he encounters the remnants of a lost past and the potential for a new beginning.
