One night, the 100th.
At the foot of Luna, the thousand-year-old tree, chainsaws roar.
The only thing stopping them from biting the tree with their metal teeth is the tiny human, Julia, perched at its top. Julia lives 60 meters above the ground, nestled in the branches of Luna, a giant sequoia. She is about to spend another night on a wooden platform so small that she cannot lie down completely.
A feverish night, a stormy night. A night when a strange bond will form between her and the tree she dedicates her life to protecting. A night that could be her last. Will Julia survive the night? No one would blame her if she gave up...
