In a future where humans are enhanced to ensure the survival of society Akaego fights to prevent her power to grow plants from being weaponised by a corrupt regime.

In a near future London where extreme weather has depleted plant life, sixteen-year-olds must surgically augment an ability to ensure humanity's survival. Having spent years training as a coder Akaego moves to a music academy after the discovery of her rare ability - she can project a vocal frequency that accelerates plant growth.

As Akaego learns to use her new skill and is chosen for a prestigious internship with the Mayor she begins to feel like she can really make a difference to society . . . and it doesn't hurt that the Mayor's gorgeous son, Joon, seems to be flirting with her.

But all is not as it seems. When the Freestakers, an anti-enhancement group, warn Akaego not to get augmented, she must learn to trust her instincts as she discovers the terrible truth of her ability and the lengths people are willing to go to to control it . . .
