Lilija, geniální vědkyně, jejíž objev by mohl posloužit k jeho svržení, prchá před federačními úřady ve snaze vymanit se z téměř neprodyšné sítě vládního dozoru. Její osud je provázaný s osudem dalších lidí bojujících proti globálnímu statu quo: Lilijina přítele Palmera, který se v Londýně snaží vyřešit záhadu jejího zmizení, nebo Zoji, zkušené aktivistky, jejíž kniha inspirovala revoluční hnutí. Každý systém může selhat. Každá společnost se může zhroutit. Každý svět může skončit. Ale co zaujme jejich místo? Příběh téměř sebevražedného revolučního podniku se v Naylerově geopolitickém sci-fi thrilleru snoubí s ostrou kritikou nejrůznějších forem autoritářství, které dusí lidskou svobodu.
