The year is 2022, the place Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Natasha Ross, a young schoolteacher, wakes up after ten years in a coma to find herself in a totalitarian state of constant surveillance, armed guards on the streets and even bin inspections. There has been ethnic cleansing, the Welfare State has been dismantled and the sick and unemployed are being sent to labour camps like criminals. Women are gradually being removed from the workplace and Natasha, unable to support herself, finds herself dependent on her nearest male relative, her sister's husband, the sinister Jason Saunders.

The 2016 referendum result has made the society depicted in this book even more scarily possible.
