Siblings Vera and Will live in a future where water is a commodity over which nations go to war. When Vera's friend Kai disappears, she and Will embark on a quest to find him. They encounter brigands, eco-terrorists, and evil corporations while moving from one improbable near-death experience to another. The action starts slowly but picks up toward the end.
