Lieutenant Jefferson Turck, a naval officer from the Pan-American Federation, sails into the forbidden zone to discover an untamed Europe. His ship crashes, landing him in a savage land filled with strange creatures and primitive people. As Turck explores, he finds that society has fallen apart, with only brutality and ignorance remaining from the past.
