The year is 2155. The country named Rinach is divided into two parts: Northern Rinach and Southern Rinach. Scientists are busy trying to find the cure to aging and already succeeded in extending the average human life. In Southern Rinach, inhabited by the unwealthy, this average lifespan lingers around 120 years, while the average lifespan in Northern Rinach is about 80 years longer. The people of Southern Rinach are being killed and neglected in order to control population growth. This results in revolts, in which Vlira and her companions participate after her mother was attacked by the one of the government's nasty infections. In the search for a cure for her mother, Vlira has to discard everything she ever stood for.
