The global corporation LoveStar has put Iceland on the world map: it has found a way to market death, brought order to love and built the most spectacular theme park in history in Öxnadalur, where the LoveStar sign blinks behind the clouds. Indriði and Sigríður are hands-free citizens of this high-tech society who believe they found love by themselves, until a terrible letter arrives from the corporation. At the same moment LoveStar himself is about to make the greatest discovery of all time, and his mood department has grand plans for perfecting the empire. And time is running out.
