Synopsis

Centuries after nuclear war destroyed civilization, the red-haired orphan Davy grows up in a repressive theocratic society dominated by the Holy Murcan Church, which forbids books, free thought, and technology. Through picaresque adventures he joins a society of heretics working to restore enlightenment, but their efforts provoke a Church-backed rebellion that forces them to flee by sea into the unknown.
