As the world painstakingly emerges from a catastrophic war, a young, broke, artist-turned-soldier finds himself an accidental war hero, thrust into global fame.

Governmental leaders across the globe scramble to evacuate billions of displaced “global warming migrants” to several newly-built cities. Meanwhile, billionares steadily evacuate to a colony in outerspace. The creator of the colony asks the young artist to travel with them to live and work there as a resident artist.

Offered everything - access, wealth, abundance, and an unstoppable career - it seems like all of the young artist’s dreams are coming true... so why is he so panicked all the time?

Could it be because his homeland is burning? Or maybe because his wealthy benefactor seems to teeter between trying to kiss him and trying to kill him. Or possibly because he is currently experiencing the worst artistic block of his entire life.

Failure could mean his death...

But what can success mean when the world is ending?
