Summary
It is the year 2250. The ice has melted and sea levels have risen.
Cape Town has disappeared and Table Mountain is now an island
inhabited by the Tekkies, who cling to a lifestyle long gone in the
rest of the world and keep their island for themselves. But their
resources are running out. They look to the land that once was
Africa - known as Out - where a few remining people have managed to
survive the massive drought by turning their back on 23rd-century
technology and following a simple lifestyle based on ancient
knowledge. They are the River People. Rain, a princess of the River
People, and Saa, the lion cub she cares for, are seized by the
Tekkies. They want the knowledge of Rain's people. They want to
know how to harvest the rain. She is to be part of a terrible
ceremony to restore the balance of the world...
