Synopsis

In a post-nuclear Earth, a healer named Snake travels the wastelands using three genetically engineered serpents to cure the sick and ease the dying. When her rarest snake — an alien dreamsnake whose venom brings peaceful visions — is killed by frightened villagers, she must undertake a dangerous quest to find a replacement or lose her ability to practice medicine.
