In the dystopian future of 2111 and a world of mounting sea levels, the
wealthiest fraction of the population has access to a rejuvenating vaccine that
can allow lifespans of hundreds of years. A young man named Riel flees the bleak
life of the drowning countryside for the urban metropolis of Montreal; there he
meets a young woman named Neve, and falls in love, but he also discovers that
the city is full of dangers, including rebel insurgents (the “Bastards of
God”) who are fighting the corporate powers that control everything,
demanding equal access for all to the miracle elixirs that can prolong life.
Amongst the rebels is a young woman with unusual and mysterious powers, Gana,
who is aiming to assassinate the CEO of Juvex, the company that produces the
vaccine. As the story spirals into violence and the city into civil war, Neve is
taken hostage by the rebels, Gana gets closer to her target, and their
investigations begin to reveal that the vaccine may not be everything it’s
cracked up to be . . .
