They are called the Blue, White, Red and Green families. They live shut away in their settlement, they follow the rules, and reproduction and nature rank high on the list of norms. Because Regina and Jakob Green cannot conceive, they help things along in secret, which is frowned upon, since there are to be no secrets. Rosa enters life under a curse, and the curious girl, who finds a companion in the clever Fredy Blue, is soon caught up by the punishment. Beginning around 2020, the story of these families runs for some six decades, later moving to a city under total surveillance, behind barbed wire, where Pippa, a hacker, wants to escape her father.
