Theresa Montgomery works for a government that values order above all else. She hunts down unauthorized life forms to maintain efficiency and cleanliness. Her routine breaks when she realizes the food supply is altering her biology. The wheat she helped protect is rewriting human consciousness to serve a collective will. Fleeing those who once employed her, she joins rebels who fight for individual autonomy. They possess ancient genetic code that corporations failed to erase completely. This code offers the only path to stopping the global hive mind. Theresa must decide if preserving her humanity is worth the chaos of freedom.
The novel sits within the biopunk and dystopian science fiction traditions. It addresses concerns about patented life forms and ecological collapse following a great famine.
