In 2070 England, Leila Shenigan, unsure of her calling, finally accepts a post as junior monitor at the Maritsa children’s camp, on the Turkish border. In short order, she will be besotted with Shaima, a little internee. Like most of these retention centres holding back the inflow of climate and warfare refugees, it is run by the Elpis Multinational Corporation. Leila cannot have been aware of their schemes, and notably that of making huge profits from the outcasts. Because they still have healthy organs that the offspring of the West, incapacitated over decades by toxins-induced flawed genes, are in such need of. But in time Leila will be alerted, and she will learn what fate is reserved for Shaima, and her friend Perveen as well, now become unforeseen daughters. She has no solution but to flee, evidence in hand, with the help of Arsalan, the already vivisected menial. But one will understand that for the Elpis people, that is out of the question.To be considered for certain readers: 'strong' language in some dialogues, and a reference to onanism.
