  • Set during 2145, solar radiation has melted the ice caps. Jungles have overrun continental Europe, and London is for the most part left submerged under water. A biologist lives on the 35th floor of a high-rise, where only two floors sit above the water line. He battles a savage environment, primordial creatures that prowl the undergrowth and anarchists who rule the city and terrorize its inhabitants.
