Synopsis

Long before Luc Dziedzic's life fell apart, his country did. Now, decades after the United States has shattered into a chaos of regional powers, Luc is losing his health and has lost his wife. What remains is work: solving homicides as a detective on the Buffalo police force. There's plenty to keep him busy along the Northern Curtain - the muzzy border between the political turmoil of the former U.S. and the tenuous stability of Canada - but he's not sure it's enough to keep him going.

Then, just days before blizzard-wracked New York is slated to be annexed, Luc is called to the scene of a waterfront murder: a climate refugee, shot in the back. Shortly thereafter, he's suspiciously pulled off the case. It smells like a cover-up, but what's one person to do against the new normal of systemic corruption in a broken world? Not much, perhaps, but Luc has nothing left to lose, and the case stirs his commitment to justice. He sets out to crack the case and expose the conspiracy, whatever the cost.

But Luc isn't alone. As his mission gains momentum, he finds allies: his steadfast partner Andre, an earnest young ergonomist named Laurel, and a defiant former spy, Nolyn. As their shadowy opponents intensify efforts to bury a shocking truth, Luc and his companions risk everything to take a stand.
