After the world was destroyed by both cataclysmic waves from the ocean and sun flares there is one city left in the world that has rebuilt itself to modernity. Here in this city its government has everything planned and protagonist Vladimir Cherkovich will become a computer programmer and live his life out coding just like the state says. But when time for job selection comes he secretly changes his occupation from a life of sitting in front of a computer to working the highly honored and dangerous job in the State Security Service. He gets the life he always wanted; a meaningful career serving the state against their known enemy Astraea, those that live in the radiated woodlands outside the city.​

Unfortunately, the innocent, naïve, and good-natured, Vladimir finds out government work if filled with horrific duties. Saddened and regretful by his findings he eventually gets another chance at happiness when, for an unknown reason, he is invited into the city’s center district Qayin, where the rich and powerful live. After moving into Qayin he finds out the horrible price to pay to live there and has a struggle within himself to do the right thing. A plan to expose the society leads to one question: is it worth dying for? But Vladimir finds out that there are worse things than death.​

Unbeknownst to Vladimir he is destined to become one of the world’s most powerful men and he does not even know it. But in doing so this protagonist must become the villain. Would betraying everything you believed for wealth and fame be worth it? For Vladimir he gets that opportunity and learns that the powerful society that rules this post-apocalyptic world has been grooming him since birth to commit horrific acts against his fellow men for power and control. When the time comes to take the throne, Vladimir has to decide if wearing the crown is worth going against his fellow men that he swore to protect. Or if he should stay true to himself and take down the society that gave him everything he ever wanted.
