It is 2082. The United Kingdom is one of many countries under the control of the World State of China. Through the State’s advanced technology, the planet’s population no longer faces the struggle against starvation. Although nobody goes hungry, many violently oppose the State’s strict domination. 

Semi-retired Ned Panama is recruited to work a triple murder case. Undeterred by a romantic distraction and with help from his police partner, Xiu, the investigation uncovers a clandestine plot to undermine the stability of the planet. 

Under the world’s intense scrutiny, Ned’s loyalty is tested when faced with a seemingly impossible decision - whether to support his country’s rulers, or aid the insurgents in their fight for freedom?  

Whatever he decides, his actions will change the future forever.
