A mystical, spiritually-charged fantasy-horror about two strangers drawn into a cosmic battle against an ancient evil, blending Sufi mysticism with dark supernatural conflict.

For reasons unknown, a flautist and an astronomer find themselves drawn to one another. But, when the flautist stumbles upon a secret regarding his late father, the two wind up in a celestial duel against the ancient Master Flautist for earth's future.
