A city protected by an impregnable shield, its ignorant citizens ruled by a powerful council. A family hiding on a withering farm, fighting for the last scraps the earth offers. In a forgotten cavern, a rebel leader prepares his troops for judgement day. In the shadows, a bloodthirsty enemy awaits the perfect moment to strike. A puppet master controls all - immortality, his only goal. Amongst the turmoil, a farm boy falls in love with an arrogant girl from the city. However, her ignorance is short-lived, as she realises their love is a complicated affair, for her farm boy is not a farm boy at all, but one of the shadows deciding humanity's fate.
