In the future – as in the present – wealth runs the world. Naomi York has grown up believing she is her parents' only daughter and thus sole heir to the York family fortune. Given her privileged position, she is granted an exclusive internship working for the Coalition of Scientific Inquiry, the international body responsible for monitoring the stability of all human and natural ecosystems. Despite the benefits of her position, Naomi is suspicious of the circles her parents inhabit – the Coalition included. After receiving an anonymous internet tip pleading her to investigate the secrets the Coalition hides, Naomi obliges, and uncovers the case file that threatens to destroy the world’s faith in science itself: Project Orbis.
