In a future Earth recovering from a devastating plague, the radical environmental group Green Splinter assassinates politician Owen Lamberin. Owen's adopted daughter, a gifted musician named Jasmine Rochelle, hires street-smart Mane Silverstar to help her track down her father's killer-and the unlikely pair are plunged into a world of genetically engineered drugs, political machinations, and corporate greed, leading them deep into the re-created South American rain forests, where a terrible secret is being hidden.
