A caravan escorting a young woman named Anea, the last survivor of Araura, out of The Darklands has been annihilated, leaving only three survivors. A shiftless vagabond named Renzia is offered a protection job, which he refuses. However, fate may have other plans for him. Anea makes the unpopular decision to hire Renzia as her escort out of The Darklands. But will the gig be too far above his pay grade?
