Days before their Offset ceremony where one of her mothers must be sentenced to death, she is brought back against her will following a run-in with the law. Has someone intervened to sabotage her life’s work? In the meantime, her daughter Miri, an anti-natalist, has run away from home. But things aren’t working out and there are discrepancies in the data. Professor Jac Boltanski is leading Project Salix, a ground-breaking new mission to save the world by replanting radioactive Greenland with genetically-modified willow trees. But in this world, survival demands sacrifice so for every birth, there must be a death. It is a rule that is simultaneously accepted, celebrated and abhorred.

Who do you pick? In a dying world, the Offset ceremony has been introduced to counteract and discourage procreation.

It is your eighteenth birthday and one of your parents must die.
