In a near-future Britain, society's calm façade conceals a sinister truth: the state maintains its control by meddling with the nation's water supply.

The result? A population lulled into apathy. Lulled, apart from a courageous few known as ‘the resistors’.

New resistor Owyn joins lifelong resistor Tiegan in a fierce quest for freedom. Spurred on by the promise of a mass resistance, they ignite a chain of events that shakes the foundations of Britain's oppressive regime.

One thing is clear: the price of freedom is higher than they ever imagined.
