Tutto ciò che Jamie Allenby ha sempre desiderato è avere spazio intorno a sé, in cui sentirsi finalmente libera. Per questo ha abbandonato la Terra, sovrappopolata e claustrofobica, rifacendosi una vita in un mondo di frontiera, ai bordi della civiltà. Quando però un virus dilagante colpisce l'umanità, annientandola e lasciandone solo un vago ricordo, Jamie si ritrova definitivamente sola, finché un messaggio giunto dalla Terra accende in lei una flebile speranza... Chi è il suo autore?

Jamie Allenby wakes alone and realises her fever has broken. But could everyone she knows be dead? Months earlier Jamie had left her partner, Daniel, mourning the miscarriage of their baby. She'd just had to get away, so she took a job on a distant planet. Then the virus hit. Jamie survived as it swept through our far-flung colonies. Now she feels desperate and isolated, until she receives a garbled message from Earth. If someone from her past is still alive - perhaps Daniel - she knows she must find a way to return.

In an alternate London, the city's Theatre District is a walled area south of the river where an immersive production - the Show - has been running for centuries, growing ever bigger, more sprawling and lavish. The Show is open to anyone who can afford a ticket but the District itself is a closed world. Juliet's mother died when she was a baby. Brought up by her emotionally distant father and even more distant stepmother, she has never felt wanted. It's only when her father passes away that Juliet - now nineteen - learns her birth was registered in the District.
