Decades into the future, as the world responds to the climate emergency, a war rages for the soul of a post-Devolution Devon, where people are farmed for their body fat and far more sinister secrets are guarded by Mayor Spight and his militia. Resistance agents are working against the clock to restore power to the people, but time is running out. Can Primrose escape the horrors of the fat farm and find sanctuary? Can her childhood friend and his commanding officer rescue their comrade Mal before he meets the dire fate planned for him? Will they live to see the light return or will the dark designs of Spight and his minions win out?
