Welcome to the future, where humans no longer exist - or so the monsters want you to believe. Dawn, one of the last of her kind, is tasked every month with leaving the safety of her home to traverse across enemy infested territory in order to keep her family afloat. There is only one rule: never get caught by what lies beyond the forest borders. When Dawn breaks this rule, she comes face to face with the monster, Syrena, who she would give anything for the opportunity to kill - and the feeling is mutual.
