After a narrow escape from the Estuary, Joe and her Platform Dweller crew embark on the open seas, their course set for l’Esperance, the land base of the Joint Councils.

When they arrive, they find that the Platform has been destroyed by a hurricane and a land base established. Instead of the peaceful settlement the Platformers were hoping for, they find different leaders battling for control over people and resources.

Concerned about the blatant segregation, Joe hacks into communications, where she discovers a dire plan to cull the Platforms.

Through loss and love, political intrigue and manipulation, the Platformers work in tandem with those around them to create a sustainable land existence for all, as they fight to save their loved ones on the Platforms.
