For the past hundred years, the ancient ruins of the Loulan Kingdom have been a source of fascination for scholars, and a target prized by thieves. When the Dust Blow Through follows two men have been stationed in the heart of this unpopulated desert region to guard the ruins from tomb raiders. They stay for months in solitude with no communication with the outside world. As the heat, sand, and loneliness take a toll on them mentally and physically, the two start to wonder.
