Luka
Jessica Woodworth
Luka, a young soldier craving battle, joins the ranks of the legendary Fort Kairos where soldiers defend the remains of civilisation. He finds a dysfunctional force that has never seen an enemy. A haunting tale of suspended lives where bonds of friendship ultimately topple the illusions.
