Keith has a near death experience and finds himself at the end of a long tunnel.

He thinks at first he must be in heaven, but he is greeted by strangers who tell him he is in Qantoum and they will meet him there again "under a black sun at the end of a thousand years".

While recuperating, he discovers that Qantoum is a town that nobody has ever heard of, right in the emptiest heart of Asia.

As anybody might who finds he has dreamed of a real place, he travels there.

Join Keith as he journeys along the railway track to that intriguing town, Qantoum.

The rest, as they say, is the future.
