In a distant future in an unnamed place, Luka, a young soldier, struggles across a desolate landscape in search of the legendary Fort Kairos. Having barely survived his journey, he discovers that Kairos is hardly the stuff of legend. The regiment is small, dysfunctional and lorded over by a High Command of eccentrics. Luka learns the astonishing truth that nobody has ever seen the enemy. He wants to flee this bastion of absurdity but instead, he falls under the spell of Kairos. He is drawn, heart, body and soul, into a friendship with an enigmatic radar engineer, Konstantin. When Luka's loyalties are tested, one tragedy leads to another until he finds the courage to crack the illusions of Fort Kairos.
