A distant future where the world has retrogressed to an earlier, more primitive time. Demons walk the halls of Heaven posing as Angels. In this world of persecution, murder, and identity theft, a small boy taken from an Angel family grows up by himself, imprisoned in a tiny, dark room, not knowing the magic of what time can do to one.
A surviving Angel masquerading as a Demon Guard is assigned the duty of giving the Angel prisoner his rations. He befriends the adolescent boy, and the two share their lives with each other, opening up to one another as they could never do among the sea of Demons that surrounds and penetrates their lives.
