Synopsis

It's the dawn of the 22nd century, the ecosystem has collapsed, and a new dust bowl sweeps the American West. There is a new power: Satori is more than just a corporation, she is an intelligent, living city that grew out of the ruins of Denver. Satori bioengineers the climate-resistant seed that feeds a hungry nation. What remains of the United States government now exists solely to distribute Satori seed. When one of Satori's Designers goes rogue, Agent Sienna Doss is tasked by the government to bring her in as a means of breaking Satori's monopoly on seed production.
