A severe drought pushed the world into the last great war. After many years, and huge casualties on all sides, it ended with a simple agreement: Each country was to turn inward, to stay within their own borders, from that point on. How they managed their populations was their own business, but if any country stepped outside its borders they would find themselves the target of an immediate nuclear strike. That was many decades ago, and even though the agreement held, things have only gotten worse. Just a few cities as we know them remain, and even those are beginning to crumble. Residents struggle with the uncertainty of their increasingly restricted day to day life, all the while suffering from the guilt of walling off most of their family, friends and fellow citizens. Jocelyn Bishop is one of the lucky ones. The daughter of a high-ranking government official and a wealthy tech titan, she shuns an even more privileged position in society for an ordinary’ life, but an unexpected visit from government agents sends her world into chaos. Soon after, Jocelyn is thrust into her estranged fathers secretive Foundation and becomes the key to humanity’s future. Which way will she turn?
