Harris Maloub, a killer with a hidden past, receives an unexpected assignment from someone presumed dead. In Aarhus, Denmark, Jens Erik, a police officer on pre-retirement leave, is haunted by the memory of a Black man’s body found in the sea years earlier. Meanwhile, on an abandoned oil rig in the North Sea, Michelle, a young Caribbean woman, discovers that the man she followed to the job is not who he claims to be. The rig, intended as a luxury resort, hides a secret laboratory revealing a terrifying entity that is neither human nor animal. This mystery connects to a 2007 seminar, where most participants are now dead or missing. Their obscure research on plants, fungi, and microbes holds vital secrets. What weapon are powerful syndicates seeking to obtain or create? Set against a post-pandemic backdrop in 2030 while weaving through the 21st century and glimpses of the 19th and 20th centuries, the narrative explores the complexities of life and the earth. It delves into themes of reason and emotion, love and despair, greed and hope, and the relationship between humans and microbes. As the storylines converge, a world of profound terror and beauty unfolds.
