But what if it doesn't?Two men bear the weight of this fear, performing their lifelong tasks - their lifelong curses - in a never-ending cycle of survival. Each night, they clash in a battle for humanity's existence. Only the first light of dawn reveals the victor.As the sun begins to set once again, they prepare for another inevitable clash, caught in a never-ending cycle of destruction. But this time, something feels different. Both men sense that this may be their final ride into the sunset, a long and bright descent into oblivion.As they prepare for their last battle, they must grapple with the realization that breaking the cycle could mean the end of everything.
