Description
In a near-future Britain, society's calm facade conceals a sinister truth: the state maintains its control by meddling with the nation's water supply. The result? A population lulled into apathy. Lulled, apart from a courageous few known as the resistors.
New resistor Owyn joins lifelong Resistor Tiegan in a fierce quest for freedom. Spurred on by the promise of a mass resistance, they ignite a chain of events that shakes the foundations of Britain's oppressive regime.
One thing is clear: the price of freedom is higher than they ever imagined.
