The Gamma desert, colloquially as The Sandlands, is a harsh place inhabited by tribes known as the 'Old Folk'. For centuries, they have kept their traditions untouched separate from the 'New Folk', but a change is on its way to shake their peaceful, nomadic existence. A change that will rock the very foundations of Sandlands.

Old Folk sisters Bo Jang and Bo Lin visit the oasis of the esteemed shaman for Bo Lin's initiation. Back at their camp, the old clashes with the new. A caravan is in conflict looking for a missing member while being pursued by an unknown group and a sandstorm threatens the old folk settlement.
