In a distant future, war and ecological apocalypse have devastated the earth. Erid, one of few survivors, has lived in a cave for years by himself.

He will discover that no future can deny the possibility of Christmas.

What others have said:
"The story is about some distant future time, and yet it seems as if you were back in the Stone Age. The authors paint a hopeless scenario: Winter, cold and snow as far as the eye can see. Loneliness, lurking dangers in the form of sickness, hunger, death, and wolves. ... Advent, the arrival: The classic theme of the protagonist journeying toward his destiny. Light, hope, and trust: Traditional Christmas images in an unusual Christmas story."
