Guskou, a young boy living in a rural village with his parents and little sister, watches his world crumble as successive droughts and other natural catastrophes devastate his family.

He eventually joins the Ihatov Volcano Department, a team of scientists, and contributes to research and projects aimed at combating the very disasters that drove him from his home.
