This is a story about life under authoritarianism and what, based on real-life examples, can be done to fight back.

For Jün-Fi, there is only one worthwhile goal in life: To become an I-pop Idol. To make the leap from the dusty streets to the bright light of the screen, to dance and sing in the bright colours, riches, fame and adoring fans. This is the only escape from the factories of Ibban, from slow starvation, from the endless competition to make ends meet under the laws of the Archist government.
Agati only wishes her little sister would join her in the real world – food must be earned, beautiful dreams can never fill a stomach. She knows the only escape Jün-Fi’s big imagination can achieve is to a prison camp –
or worse.
The Nalssi believe in another way out.
In the sun-scorched Reunited Republic of Ibban, tunes are about to change.
