A girl uses supernatural means to take revenge on her abusive brother;

a reuniting father and son search for a kidnapped village;

a group of boys try to survive a night in an ancient forest, hunted by a savage monster;

a young man finds his courage on a hunting trip when he must save his mother's life;

and, a scientist tries to retain his sanity, locked in with an enormous terraforming engine and the many apparitions from the past and future that it creates!

These five short stories complete the picture of the savage, dystopian Mars envisioned by J.P. Lantern, seen also in his Red Country Trilogy.
