In a post-apocalyptic landscape ravaged by disease, the young Gus joins a dwindling population of hybrid beings known as " hybrids," a combination of humans and animals. With his distinctive antlers marking him as both unique and vulnerable, Gus is thrust into a harsh reality following the death of his father. Left to navigate a world filled with peril, he embarks on a journey that will challenge his innocence and test his survival instincts.
As Gus ventures beyond the sanctuary of his childhood home, he encounters other survivors, some kind-hearted and others driven by desperation. His quest for safety unravels the complexities of human nature, revealing both the best and worst in people. Throughout his journey, the boy struggles with his identity, torn between the primal instincts of the wild and the innocence of a child seeking companionship.
In this richly drawn narrative, the stark contrast between innocence and brutality creates a haunting atmosphere. Each encounter builds tension and emphasizes the fragile nature of survival, inviting readers to explore the depths of Gus's character as he finds hope amidst the chaos of a world long lost.
