A drunken father's curse. A young boy's loneliness. A myth worth believing. The legend of Degei, The Snake, is confronted when a young boy opens his eyes and sees nothing but a life predestined by a father's failure. Determined to find his own way, Eliki seeks to appease Degei for his father's mistakes, hoping the myth is more than just foolish fantasy. Sometimes hope is just enough.
