Overview
In the prehistoric world, a Cro-Magnon tribe depends on an ever-burning source of fire, which eventually extinguishes. Lacking the knowledge to start a new fire, the tribe sends three warriors on a quest for more.

On their journey, they encounter Ika, a woman who has the knowledge they seek.
