Plot
editThrough the wasteland roams a mysterious tribe of people who call themselves the Whirlwind. Unlike others, they seek not food, clothing, or blood, but rather a meaning for their existence. The truth lies hidden beyond the horizon, somewhere in one of the world’s directions, toward which, in the end, the few survivors set out.
