In a dying world, the Offset ceremony has been introduced to counteract and discourageprocreation. It is a rule that is simultaneously accepted, celebrated and abhorred. But inthis world, survival demands sacrifice so for every birth, there must be a death.

Professor Jac Boltanski is leading Project Salix, a ground-breaking new mission to savethe world by replanting radioactive Greenland with genetically-modified willow trees. Butthings arent working out and there are discrepancies in the data. Has someoneintervened to sabotage her life's work?

In the meantime, her daughter Miri, an anti-natalist, has run away from home. Daysbefore their Offset ceremony where one of her mothers must be sentenced to death, sheis brought back against her will following a run-in with the law. Which parent will Miri pick to die: the one she loves, or the one she hates who is working to save the world?
