This vision of a dystopia not too many years away centres on the three intertwining lives of a refugee, a ruthless jailbird opportunist, and a campaigning eco-journalist. As rival groups are prepared – literally and metaphorically – to cut each others’ throats, their lives and their different objectives collide with violent and spectacular results.
