Brothers Zyon and Tayo Basto lose both their parents within a few years of each other before starting high school. After their father, Proy, passes away while in a yearlong coma, the boys fall asleep at a chess board and wake up in a time and space farther away than dreams could take them. Before them sits a shiny, faceless black mercenary, tasked with the favor of teaching two kids who their father really is and helping them grow into his only friend's legacy. And, no, it is not a dream.
