High in the present-day Caucasus mountains, a tiny family of hominids ekes out an arduous but paradoxically idyllic existence. When they are finally discovered, all are killed save for a young girl who escapes deeper into the forest and transforms into an apex predator. After years of solitary living, she finds a companion and mate in a runaway autistic boy. As they follow the rounds of the seasons, they are oblivious to their peril until they are caught between the lines of the human armies enveloping their mountains on the eve of global nuclear war.Includes 30 pages of stunning, photo-realistic full-color storyboard frames.
