In 2048, NewTor (formerly Toronto) is the capital of the young country of Ontario. It has reached Stage Four of family Values, a progressive and dynamically algorithmic form of urban governance. family Values has spread beyond the capital with outlying cities at varying stages striving to achieve Stage Four. Not all Ontarians embrace its ideological ideals. Many migrate to neighbouring Nova Canada or Quebec; others north to disparate communities that, while growing rapidly, are too fragmented to pose a threat to family Values and its fortified partnerships with the United States and Indigenous peoples. This is all new to reclusive sexagenarian Ken and eighteen-year-old Otto, who Ken found as a toddler at his doorstep and raised off-the-grid. As guardian, Ken feels obligated to suspend his idyllic hermitic life and re-enter a world he'd spurned to guide Otto to NewTor and fulfill the boy's wish to determine his parentage. While practical experience and instinct are ideal for the wilderness portion, they are of little use in the realm of an urban family Values world still evolving, especially after discovering their complex familial connection to its founders.
