He has seen inside the biodome, and doesn't care to again - but when something begins killing off others like himself, Kaaro must defy his masters to search for an answer, facing his dark history and coming to a realisation about a horrifying future.

Im Jahr 2067 hat sich Rosewater, die Stadt, die ihren Wohlstand dem Alien Wormwood verdankt, von Nigeria losgesagt. Eine Entscheidung, die bei der nigerianischen Regierung nicht auf Gegenliebe stößt. Im Gegenteil: Der Präsident ist nicht bereit, die prosperierende Stadt kampflos in die Freiheit zu entlassen.
