The city is starving. The farms are overflowing. Something is very wrong.

After a riot turns deadly, city kid Acker goes looking for law and order. When a food truck is attacked, farmgirl Dot leaves home determined to find answers. 

When the two teens cross paths, they uncover clues that don’t add up, secrets no-one will explain, and a terrifying truth about where life is heading. The more they dig, the clearer it becomes: something powerful is steering their world… and it doesn’t think like a human.

If they don’t act, the future might empty out before their eyes.
