England, 2050. The virus didn't just kill the population-it killed the future.
In the wake of a brutal military takeover, society has regressed into a savage feudal system. Max, a former traveller, and his mother, Lillian, are trapped on a farmstead ruled by Rory-a ruthless pharmacist turned Overlord. Rory holds the keys to their survival, secretly providing the forbidden medicine Max needs to stay alive, while harbouring a dark, obsessive infatuation with Lillian.One forbidden signal changes everything.
When Max discovers a hidden radio broadcasting news of Qanuk-a sanctuary in the frozen north where borders don't exist-he finds the one thing more dangerous than the laws: hope.
But in a settlement built on paranoia and shifting loyalties, dreaming of escape is an act of treason. As tensions reach a breaking point and a sudden tragedy plunges the farmstead into chaos, Max and Lillian must navigate a web of secrets and unlikely alliances.
To reach freedom, they must decide who they can truly trust in a world designed to break them. But the cost of a new life might be higher than either of them is prepared to pay.
In the hunt for sanctuary, the greatest danger isn't the journey-it's the secrets we keep to survive.
