Now surrounded by mega-rich corporations involved in private weather manipulation, predictive analytics, and covert weaponry, Martha finds herself in a world that seems to align with the apocalyptic warnings from her father’s once metaphorical fox and rabbit sermon. Meanwhile, across the globe in a Singapore mall, Lai Zhen, an internet-famous survivalist, faces a life-threatening situation. As their worlds converge, Martha’s determination and Zhen’s relentless curiosity may either lead to something beautiful or contribute to the cataclysmic end of civilization, while a few billionaires, confident in their own safety, steer the world toward destruction.
