Not all who wander are lost.
An artist has one last piece to create, and time is running short. He has learned drawing, painting, and sculpture, but something completely different has captured his imagination - an ancient Buddhist epic that could be more than meets the eye...
...The prodigal scholar-monk Hsuan-Tsang begins his pilgrimage from China to India. Though he does not know the way, he will not go alone. Along the Silk Road, he will face three outcasts seeking redemption on his voyage: a king of monkeys, a shameless pig, and a man-eating ogre.
On this journey, the personal becomes myth, and the myth becomes personal. If you travel West long enough, you'll end up in the Far East.
