Set in a near-future climate-flooded England, divided into three countries.
Kai, the charismatic leader of the tech-elite, entices the public with cutting-edge technology and a seemingly benevolent vision for the world.
As part of the Resist and Regain movement, Beth and Naomi confront him head-on.
Challenging his child experimentation to accelerate evolution and his attempts to control the government, they risk everything for a more equal and transparent society.
Can they stop Kai before it’s too late?
Can Beth live with the suffering her activism will cause her family?
