In the depths of mountains shrouded with ignorance and superstition, one man has dedicated his life to igniting a passion for maths and science in the hearts of the peasant children around him. Now his life is coming to its end, he draws his students around him so he can impart knowledge on them to his final breath.

Hienosti kuvitettu tarina maailmasta, jossa opittu tieto voi olla pelastus. Syrjäisellä seudulla elää opettaja, joka takaa omilla vähillä varoillaan sen, että kylän lapset saavat edes jonkinlaista koulutusta. Hän itse sai nuorena samanlaista apua ja haluaa siksi jakaa tietoa eteenpäin. Samaan aikaan ympäri maailmankaikkeutta ravaa alempia rotuja ja heidän planeettojaan tuhova laji. Kaikki alle tason 3 planeetat hävitetään. Onnistuuko meidän planeettamme pelastumaan?
