An expedition arrives on the planet Verfebro in search of life's greatest ambition: immortality.

A motley crew is sent to Verfebro in search of a mystifying elixir—one that runs through the veins of a ferocious local species: the Dracs. The members of the expedition will do anything to uncover the mysteries of life on this planet, no matter the cost.
