HEADLINE: BREATHING IS NO LONGER A RIGHT. IT IS A LUXURY.
The year is 2041. Global oxygen levels have dropped to critical lows. Humanity is suffocating.
Dr. Aris Thorne is the most hated man on Earth. Once hailed as a savior, his bio-engineered algae, Prometheus, was supposed to reverse climate change. Instead, it mutated into a predator, consuming the world's remaining oxygen and acidifying the oceans.
Now, with the atmosphere collapsing, the United Nations initiates the "Janus Protocol" a cold-blooded algorithm designed to execute half the population to save the rest.
Hunted by the very government he tried to serve, Aris is rescued by Sarah Vance, a cynical mercenary with a high-tech hovercraft and a desire to survive. Together, they flee to Atlantica, a secret underwater city led by a rogue commander and a mad scientist who believe they have found a cure.
But the cure comes with a devastating price. To kill the algae, they might have to boil the oceans.
Trapped between a genocidal government and a cure that could be worse than the disease, Aris and Sarah must infiltrate the most heavily guarded fortress in New York to trigger a desperate plan: a global reboot that will either save humanity or extinguish it forever.
In the silence of the apocalypse, one breath can change everything.
