An unforgettable story about a misfit poet coming to terms with womanhood, intuition, and rebellion in a world that is both ancient and futuristic.
In the year 3100, on the Pacific island matriarchy of Caleaf, the economy is art.
Deer, a poet, isn't looking forward to the Motherhood Voyage that takes women to faraway planet Sister Earth to lay their eggs.
As the takeoff date nears, she begrudgingly joins in Mating Season festivities, but her nightly dreams become increasingly ominous and her intuitive abilities falter.
As Deer's childhood memories re-emerge, revealing Sister Earth to hold a disturbing secret, she must find a way to save her children from the fate carried in her maternal lineage-even if it means telling a truth no one wants to hear.
