Eustace "Stacey" Moran is a distressed veteran with a deeply-hidden secret. Now a detective for the American Contraband Substance Agency in post-war New York, he is tasked with his partner Devon Jameson to find out why people are dying from a mysterious substance called Honey. He encounters the citizens of the Unified World: Travelers, an enlightened subculture living on the outside of normal society’s boundaries; and the Orbitals, pioneers and rebels who have made their homes off the Earth with a whole different set of rules. He takes a journey through dark layers of corruption and mystery, from the highest pinnacle of New York City, through the forgotten ruins underneath, to the reclusive and defiant provinces of space. His secret pulls him into a life-changing search for personal redemption.
