An ordinary man draws to the end of an extraordinary life.
In this his final journey to the place of his birth, he has time to reflect on his past - a past of fears and promises, a past of forgotten wonders and hidden secrets, a past that holds the answers to questions as old as civilisation.
It is also a time to contemplate his present and the mystery of his own being - of who he is, where he is, and why he is.
And in his final hours he must decide whether this is truly the end or just another step into a future filled with more possibilities than any other human being has dared to imagine.
