They say it's the toughest place on the planet

In the near future, the tiny territory of Portobello is in a state of permanent siege after years of conflict with its hugely more powerful neighbour. Trapped in the battered and battle-weary district known as Downtown and toughened by a life on the streets, Kai plots his high-risk route to freedom.

Meanwhile, across the border, genetically-modified Phoebe, who has grown up in a prison-like institution, part children's home, part experimental laboratory, is determined to escape.

When Phoebe goes missing and Kai is hired to hunt down a fugitive, what are the chances their paths will cross?
