== Synopsis ==
After an unspecified collapse of civilisation, a group of men take up residence in an abandoned town located in the Namib desert, killing those who stumble across their new home. When a group arrive muttering the name of something called "Ahtu", the group attempt to kill them, but are in turn attacked by the vicious parasites growing within their victims. After successfully fending off the beasts, most of the group sets off to seek answers about Ahtu, leaving one to grub out an existence in the derelict town, a changed man.
