Description
After a drug deal gone wrong, two old friends meet for the first time on the distant planet of Gilder Nefan, far off on the edge of the galaxy. Gilder Nefan is a holy place where the local population smokes a psychotropic plant known as "sweet jisthmus" to reach higher states of consciousness in order to speak with god-like aliens. Diego has become addicted to the powerful jithmus plant, and seeks the help of his old friend. But breaking the jithmus addiction will be more difficult than they think, especially when there are god-like aliens lurking nearby in the stars who have very different motives...
