Feuerland... In den letzten Jahren des XIX. Jahrhunderts ist diese Gegend am Ende der Welt ein ausgedehntes und trostloses Gebiet. Dort stürzen sich die Berge der Anden ins stürmische Meer. In dieser Gegend ausserhalb der Zeit treffen Goldsucher, englische Missionare, Seehundjäger, Soldaten und jahrhundertealte Stämme aufeinander. Unter dieser kunterbunten Mischung befindet sich ein Flüchtling. Denn dieser Mann, wer immer er auch sei, kennt kein anderes Schicksal als die Fallen, die ihm seine gequälte Seele stellt.

After a traumatic experience in Africa, Red Cross nurse Vera Michailov returns home to Paris on medical leave, where she clears up lingering affairs after her estranged father's death. However, her return triggers a stunning revelation from her father's Gypsy friends: Vera learns that she has a twin brother, Kolya. Originally born attached at the hand, the Siamese twins were separated in every sense. Vera becomes consumed with finding Kolya, as she scours the far corners of the world. Her increasingly obsessional quest turns deadly when it emerges Kolya is a pirate.

The "Land of Fire" is an archipelago off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland. As the 19th century comes to a close, it is a vast and desolate land only frequented by gold diggers, English missionaries, Chilean and Argentine military, and the age-old Ona, Alacaluf, and Yamana tribes. In this unique world, where the Andean mountains plunge into the Pacific Ocean, several characters, each burdened by duty or fate, will cross paths and clash, on their journey through Cape Horn.From Christian Perrissin, writer of "El Niño," and artist Enea Riboldi.
