Summary

Two groups of people, maligned and sometimes despised. Two groups of people that live and exist among us in the cities we have created to feed our enterprise. We try our best not to see them for they remind us of our failures and mistakes. The thin line that divides us from their fate. To see them is to remember that they too have feelings, just as we do. They have stories to tell, just as we do. Out of one such story, we find a boy. A boy born out of his time, blessed with an irrepressible spirit and a keen intelligence; streetwise and independent of nature. He forms an unlikely relationship with a vagrant who seems to be much more than he appears.

A mysterious and enigmatic man who struggles with the loss of his memory; a memory that he glimpses only through powerful, disturbing dreams with bewildering mythological themes. Many think him simply to be a madman. Their story is a strange and unbelievable one that is picked up and followed reluctantly by two Christian volunteers whose view of the accepted will be irretrievably changed by their experiences.
