In a world where science is the new religion and health is a monopoly, only the obedient survive.

After climate disasters and a global health collapse, salvation comes with the “Pharma Care” reform: genetic edits, monthly boosters, and mandatory screenings — all tracked through a health file implanted in every citizen’s hand.

Comply — you stay in the city. Refuse — you become a renegade. Ernest Goodman tries to follow the rules — until his time starts running out. Divorced and stuck in his mother’s basement, he works as a paid troll in the Global Network.

His 3D-printed heart is failing, but a chance for a real one appears — at a terrifying cost. His path crosses with Grace Holly, an eccentric bookseller determined to uncover the truth behind her father’s murder and his final message.

Do the Troll and the bookseller stand a chance in a world where social responsibility is law, propaganda is deafening, and survival of renegades plays out in the reality show “Rumble for Crumble” — where the prizes are essentials, but death is all too possible?
