A few years after the Second Pandemic the world has changed: deep economic upheaval, discontent and mass riots have pushed it far past breaking point. Amid the turmoil the love between Nevena and Pavel seems unshakable, and when he asks her to share his life, their best days seem to lie ahead. That same night he discovers that his fiancée has somehow grown a tail, a real one. Nevena sees nothing wrong with it, but Pavel, who is writing a novel called Freedom, is shaken to the core. Then comes an unexpected offer: to win the next presidential election and lead the country into a new order. Tempted, and torn between politics and the love of his life, which seem unable to coexist, he faces fateful choices with irreversible consequences.
