Synopsis

On the planet Ishtar, a catastrophic 'Fire Time' occurs every thousand years as a demon star approaches, driving northern natives southward and collapsing civilizations. Caught between an alien conflict and humanity's own interstellar war, a small group of Earthlings must decide whether to intervene in a cycle of destruction that has repeated for millennia.
