Not long ago the people of an unnamed country were involved in a civil war. After the armistice, both sides noticed hundreds of bodies unaccounted for. Looking through their land, there was discovered a place where men would vanish from sight. Those who returned spoke of a zone governed by cruel logic. This place, dubbed The Ulterior, was closed off and a guard was placed at its entry. The curious have found their way to its borders believing it holds healing properties and that it can reunite the living and the dead.

A riff on Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, examining the passions that have anchored love stories for centuries. Jane loved Roderick, until they slept together and she learned he'd been keeping his long-term relationship a secret. Now she is nagged by questions: Why did he wrong her? Who is this other woman? What happened to the seemingly sweet man she fell for? How does infidelity still happen? She finds him and confronts him without malice or spite, attempting to make the self-identified "nice guy" explain his chauvinistic behavior.
