After the war between men and women, Earth exists void of outdoor life. The Savage Clan, outside mutants, prey on humans for their flesh. Life on Earth is without joy; a barren landscape with little oxygen, no plants, a sea without life. Bradley, on vacation from the City of Men, leaves his male-mate Gerald and travels outside the charted area where he discovers a living palm tree. Beyond, he finds Future, a magnificent vessel from far off Serene Island, a land where life, love and wine are of good vintage.
