Here's the official synopsis:

Set in 2035 amidst a US-China war and a proto-fascist America, the story follows three idealistic youths—Andy, Maggie, and Olivia—who met in Hong Kong. Their diverging beliefs on navigating this techno-authoritarian world lead them down different paths toward transformative change, forcing them to confront the extent of their commitment to freedom and the sacrifices they must make. A powerful and important work examining global totalitarian futures and the price of resistance.
