The Story
Slither, finding that he has no direction in life, discovers that his family was exiled from a mystical Plateau located somewhere in the American Midwest. After some soul searching, he decides to redeem his family’s mysterious shame by returning to his ancestor’s homeland. Slither is less than well-received, however, as the Plateau’s denizens have little use for his modern and eccentric ways.
