The National Front Party has just been elected in France and millions of immigrants flee to Europe to escape climate extremes and rising sea levels. As Russia tries to militarily rebuild its former empire, accurate and uncorrupted Artificial Intelligence is the best hope of preventing world war. In the midst of this perfect storm are two young Americans, one a young Black woman studying Artificial Intelligence at the Sorbonne and the other heir to the world's largest privately owned oil and gas company. The revolutionary changes occurring in France suck them both in. But are they on the same side?

When the National Front Party cracks down on dissent, trains youth to enforce its anti-democratic policies in France and beyond, and pulls France out of NATO, the two Americans must decide whether to join a homegrown secret Resistance that must involve students, immigrants, other nations, and even corporate leaders if it is to succeed. They must also decide how far to trust their hearts in this danger-fraught time.

A prescient, terrifying, and hopeful story of political intrigue, love, and possibility as the resisters forge their path learning from the past and determined to bring about a better future.
