Madika dreams of recreating a once beautiful lake. Faced with a world strangled by an oppressive and corrupt government, she struggles to trace the clues from the past to begin the healing process. However, her research unearths long-buried secrets.
The soil scientist discovers relics in a tomb that mimics a bird creature thought dead long ago. But when the bird creature appears from a mound, creating a perimeter about the lake, it prevents Madika from coming any closer.
Madika reads the patterns on the lake as it reflects her past sojourn. It is like the writings of a hand spanning centuries.
The writings echo within her-and resonate. Her unrest is evident. She seeks solace but must go into hiding until she can hide no more.
