Their goal is to see the sun setting over the sea – to prove that beauty still survives in a disintegrating world.
Along the way they rescue a young girl fleeing from a life of slavery. With her kidnappers in close pursuit they hurry towards the coast – but wild animals, storms and sudden tragedy all lie in the way. Will courage and loyalty be enough as darkness draws across the world?
Set in a future New Zealand ravaged by runaway climate change, David’s journey reveals that hope and the ties of family will always endure.
