After his childhood friend is killed, 17-year-old clone Aoi spends his last year to live looking for the man who killed him! As he searches for revenge, Aoi uses his ability to travel through the Jihai (wasteland), where supposedly nothing can survive, to act as a courier. After a routine delivery goes wrong, a pistol-packing padre named Tristram saves Aoi and takes him back to his home country — a place where clones are treated like people, not possessions. But Aoi quickly realizes something is amiss in this new land. What's Tristram hiding, and will he be an ally in Aoi's cause…or a threat?
