Plot summary
For a million years prior to the dawn of Homo sapiens, two immortal, shapeshifting aliens roam the Earth with little memory of
their origins or their purpose. In the year 2019, an artifact is discovered off the coast of
Samoa, buried deep beneath the ocean floor. The mysterious find
brings two alien beings – the "changeling" and the "chameleon" – together again, to ponder the meaning of the object and its relationship to each
other. Both immortals try to seek each other out and use the artifact to find their origins, one harbouring good intentions while
the other is extremely hostile.
