In the midst of an endless desert, the last community of humanity lives in harmony with nature and the traditions of their ancestors. But Ava, curious and rebellious, feels trapped by this life. Her visions show her a world beyond the desert, full of unknown possibilities and secrets no one else can see.
When Okko, the wise and charismatic leader, takes her under her wing, Ava believes she has found her destiny as Okko’s successor.
But when Phineas, clever and strategic, is chosen instead, Ava feels betrayed. Determined to prove herself, she leaves the safety of her oasis.
On her journey, Ava’s visions reveal themselves as memories of a forgotten past. More and more people begin to remember their own histories through her, and her following grows.
While Ava searches for her destiny among the fragments of the past, Okko is confronted by an old love from the lost world. It becomes clear that she knows far more about Ava’s future than she has ever revealed.
Caught between guilt and old wounds, one question remains:
Is survival alone worth denying our own intuition?
