On the opalescent planet, Pharathe, an alcoholic mystic, a self-serving egomaniac and a violent psychopath team up to cross the sea of clouds, called the Q'Sh, in search of treasure. While each one secretly plots the destruction of the others, and to keep whatever they find for themselves, what they eventually haul aboard ends up being nothing short of each villain's own personal hell. This is the first of two volumes.
