In a near future, set primarily in the north of the UK, women gather in protest against the government's failure to fulfill climate commitments. Meanwhile, two glorified paper pushers in Spain assist British ex-pats in escaping the impending heatwave that will devastate much of southern Europe. A twitter storm ensues amidst the panic of a real tempest. In the northeast, a beloved allotment succumbs to rising sea levels, resulting in toxic rain and contaminated soil. Sea levels continue to rise, unleashing devastating consequences. The elite, who have won the life lottery, are evacuated to towering towers, where new blueprints for the future regime are formulated. As a nominal government struggles to maintain control on the ground, eco-warriors, protestors, and radical allotmenteers multiply. Within the towers, decisions are made between safety and freedom, shaping the course of a future fraught with uncertainty and peril.
