The story follows Arthur, an aging gardener who discovers a defiant strain of heirloom kale that can survive the city’s poisoned soil, and Kaelen, a Spire logistics officer who realizes that the tower's "math of subtraction" is a death sentence. When Kaelen tracks a mysterious oxygen spike to Arthur’s hidden garden, she abandons her life of clinical certainty to join a subterranean resistance.
