A self-driving cargo container crashes in rural Pakistan. Inside are forty-six kidnapped street children...As a grizzled, semi-retired policewala living in rural twenty-second century Pakistan, Officer Nawaz had long ago substituted any notions of heroism with a pretty impressive drinking habit.

Fate pairs him up with Adil Khan, a young, idealistic, and rather annoying space cadet from the global Confederation. Their investigation uncovers a treacherous conspiracy, and now they must challenge everything they thought they knew about the country, and themselves, if they want to solve the case - and make it out alive.This science-fiction detective mystery unfolds against the unique backdrop of a futuristic Pakistan.
