In a distant future New York medical student Driscoll Rampart accomplishes his internship at Rusta, a rural planet that doesn't revolve around its axis and therefore is divided into contrasting halves of eternal day vs. eternal night. One is a Victorian-styled colony, the other a medieval kingdom. Both leave Rampart in a state of constant wonder, as he finds his way among humans and aliens, strange dreams and even stranger reality, a dark keep and a red sea, and more universal matters of war and peace, good and bad, love and hate and sickness and health.

Der junge Arzt Driscoll Rampart (Neal McDonough) muss auf dem unterentwickelten Planeten Rusta ein Praktikum absolvieren. Eine große Mauer teilt den Planeten in eine Licht- und eine Schattenseite. Unversehens wird Rampart in die Auseinandersetzungen der beiden feindlichen Seiten gezogen. - Stimmungsvolles Fantasy-Abenteuer.
