Using the shell of Journey to the West, this story lays bare the love, loss, struggles, and compromises of idealists everywhere. This is more than a journey west. It is a grand sacrifice: each person gives up what they cherish most in exchange for a false promised land. They ferry one another across endless rivers and mountains, only to discover in the end that the River of Forgetfulness lies beneath their feet, and both the road behind and the road ahead lead to nothingness.
