Portland, Oregon twenty years hence. As the city continues its long slide into criminal anarchy, Lane Anslow works as a contract cop with no set wages, no benefits and no real future. His memories of better times have nearly evaporated in the face of endless violence and corruption.
Then Lane’s brother Johnny, a brilliant but bipolar scientist, comes to him with a startling revelation. He has made the ultimate biotech breakthrough and can wind back the clock of aging to restore one’s youth. Its value is beyond calculation, both economically and politically.
But soon afterwards Johnny goes missing, and Lane has to embark on an extraordinary and perilous journey to track him down. He’s joined by Rachel Heinz, a savvy political operative, who has second doubts about her boss, a manic populist. And behind it all lurks Thomas Zed, an aging oligarch who sees Johnny’s discovery as the ultimate path to redemption – no matter what the cost in lives or money.
In the end, all their conflicts and collisions will force Lane into making one of the most momentous decisions in the whole of human history.
