On Canada’s West Coast the descendants of the survivors live in scattered villages, relying on forest and ocean to supply their simple needs.

But in the village of the Yellowhairs the ancient myth of racial supremacy continues to flourish. The Yellowhair goal: total domination of the Coast. The method: merciless warfare.

And now the Yellowhairs have been strengthened by their discovery of a technology not seen for centuries: a method of extracting metal from ore.

Highway1, a Black man, is content in the peaceful routines of his village. But when the village is attacked by Yellowhairs searching for a stolen metal axe-head he is propelled into a battle for the survival of his people.
