Halus the Giant is the greatest hero and the greatest villain of the Atayal people of Taiwan.
Halus rescues his village from typhoons and defeats plundering enemies single-handedly, but when no danger is present, it is Halus that his tribe most fears. He ravages the forest, growing fat with the animals he inhales. He has tormented Rimuy, the woman he loves, all of her life.
How long will Halus’ tribe accept the high cost of their “hero”?
