The archipelago of Prospera lies hidden from the horrors of a deteriorating outside world. Prospera's lucky citizens enjoy long, fulfilling lives until they retire to the Nursery, where their failing bodies are renewed, their memories are wiped clean, and they are readied to restart life afresh. Unrest is building, and there are rumours spreading of a resistance group who may be fomenting revolution. Soon Proctor Bennett - a ferryman who shepherds people through the retirement process - finds himself questioning everything he once believed and starts a desperate mission to uncover the truth.
