The planet had fallen off the map. Lost on an unknown and forgotten
planet, scientist Karl Allman discovers himself hunted by an ancient
race. The descendants of earlier colonists have reverted to a savage
tribal culture of sacrifice, pillage and violence. When Karl falls in
love with an outcast girl, he has only one goal: Escape. But escape is a
distant dream on this nightmare planet.
