For years, Toru has drifted in search of his lost tribe until he reaches the white lands in the north. A scent carried by the wind brought him here, and nothing will stop him from finding his kin. Not the cold nights, not the morose people that never smile, not the food that's never plenty. He has to find them, or he would live in vain. Little he knows that what he will find might not be what he imagines, but everything his hungry heart desires.
