Description

In a far‑future Earth where the monumental faces of Mount Rushmore have become a sacred pilgrimage site, Meg—a priestess of the Jinnia tribe—rides back to her homeland after a perilous trek across alien lands. She carries with her Daiv, a man from a distant star‑borne people, whose presence forces her to confront the rigid expectations of her clan and the enigmatic “Men” who once shaped their world. Their affection glows against a backdrop of fading ruins, glowing roads, and forests that still whisper of the Ancient Ones.

As they near the village, Meg’s confidence masks the uneasy questions Daiv raises about how her people will receive an outsider. The pair must navigate strange relics, lingering spirits, and a cultural divide that could reshape the tribe’s destiny. Their journey hints at deeper trials, inviting listeners to follow a tale where love, belief, and the echo of forgotten civilizations intertwine.
