'A young man named Ash is flung forward in time to a terrifying future populated by warring clans of human-animal hybrids called ‘bestians’. Here, mankind is virtually extinct, and the only other human left alive is trying to kill him.

'Aided by a bestian woman named Scythea, who has agendas of her own, Ash must carve himself a niche in this savage new world before its mutated denizens end him!

'In this first issue, Ash arrives in the future, but his orientation is cut short by an angry seal bestian bull. He flees inland to a hilltop known as Sulliman’s Stand, where he confronts an even greater danger: a diseased lion bestian, suffering from Relapse, who believes Ash’s blood may cure him!'

'In the second issue, Scythea binds Ash’s wounds and escorts him — despite intervention from her more savage Pridemates — to Barshasa Rock, home of the Barshasa lion bestian Pride. There he learns more about his predicament, and clashes with the Sphinx Rrliss over the ‘magical’ nature of humans.'

'In the third issue, we meet Scythea’s irascable Aunt Arioso; Rrliss schools Ash on the Barshasa Pride’s darkest hour, and Barshasan Exile Mercer arrives with a team of mutated Minions to claim Ash for his dark master, Redgrave.'

'In the fourth issue, violence erupts as the Barshasa Pride leaps to the offensive, and they discover the terrible cost of opposing Redgrave forces!'

In the fifth issue, the conflict between the Barshasa Pride and the Redgrave forces subside. Bedella pays a painful price and Ash need help to save his fingers.
