The waterless flood long predicted by Adam One, the kindly leader of God’s Gardeners—a religion devoted to the melding of science and religion—has occurred, altering Earth as we know it and obliterating most human life. Among the survivors are Ren, a young trapeze dancer locked inside the high-end sex club Scales and Tails; and Toby, a member of God’s Gardeners, who is barricaded inside a luxurious spa. But they cannot stay locked away for ever. Amid shadowy, corrupt ruling powers and new, gene-spliced life forms, Ren and Toby will have to decide on their next move.
