The Sun is sputtering and guttering with only a pallid reddish
light. Dark night has nearly completed its victory over day. What
few human beings are left cower in a last village awaiting the
eventual death of the world. Two Hunters struggle for supremacy
over a female of a nonhuman race. A noah builds a sailing ship to
escape to the stars in an attempt to evade the end of the Universe.
And then a miracle; no one remembers the last time a child has been
born, but here is one, a girl. She is beautiful, but strange, given
to dancing weird rituals beneath the Moon and painting
self-portraits in the nude. One of the two Hunters, Adam Winter,
dares to confront her with his love, with disastrous consequences.
The other Hunter, Ikaros, consumed with rage, teams up with a noah
to build an Ark -- and it sails into space seeking a new world
where humanity might yet live. But there is no miracle for Ikaros;
again and again they come back to the same tired world and its
darkening Sun.
