Just as you believe you’ve lost it all, they’ll come and take your dreams.

Humanity has brought the world to the brink of ruin through global warming—but an even more terrifying threat has surfaced. Indigenous people across North America are being hunted for their bone marrow, a precious resource believed to restore humanity’s lost ability to dream. In this bleak new reality, Frenchie and his companions journey northward to ancestral lands, desperately fighting for survival. They remain hidden, aware of the constant danger. But unbeknownst to them, one member of their group may hold the key to ending the terror of the marrow thieves once and for all.
