Rook is a smuggler hired to transport Vanessa, a mutant with the power to make people relive memories, to a safer zone for mutants. The story follows them as they travel across a post-apocalyptic wasteland, hunted by Officials who deem mutants a threat. Rook struggles with depression, constantly reliving memories of his lost love Elenor, who became a Weeper after a nuclear war. If they can make it to the zone, Vanessa will find sanctuary with a man named Willem, but their difficult journey takes a toll on Rook as he gets closer to Vanessa.
