In a world fractured by relentless pandemics, ecological collapse, and devastating wars, life on isolated White Cedars farm offers young Travis little more than a cycle of routines that slowly crush the spirit. For Travis, the farm feels like a black hole, a place where not even the light of dreams can escape. But being a "bright spark" with a restless mind yearning for more, he exiles himself from the farm to find adventure and enlightenment in the Big Woods, a sprawling wilderness teeming with both real and imagined threats: the brutal Last Harvest Reapers; the enigmatic alien Flies whispered about in fearful tales; and desperate souls turned bandit.
Travis's journey quickly takes a dark turn when he crosses paths with the powerful and malevolent cobot Bors who forces him on a desperate quest tied to a terrifying legacy. Travis and his two new companions, pragmatic Dunc and resourceful Dyani, must locate a mysterious Old Days cache that could hold the means of unimaginable destruction — a potent virus or a far more insidious bioweapon — and keep their discovery from falling into the wrong hands, be they ruthless gangs, fanatical Reapers, or Bors himself, who has his own terrifying agenda.
As Travis's story unfolds, it becomes one of desperate choices, moral ambiguity, uneasy alliances, and the struggle for survival and hope on a journey into a future haunted by the past, where the bonds of friendship and trust are tested against the harsh realities of his world.
Will Travis find the light he seeks in a world shrouded in darkness? Can Travis, Dyani, and Dunc outwit Bors and survive the dangers of the Big Woods? Will they uncover the secrets of the lost cache before it's too late for everyone? Or will they, like so many others, succumb to the forces that threaten to unleash a final catastrophe upon their broken world?
