It’s the third decade of the 21st century, and Nobel Prize for Medicine Olivia Levi discovers the existence of the Obliques, a minority of the population born with a genetic conformation which changes their natural anthroposphere. The mere presence of an Oblique damages any other human being just like a radioactive element. People are terrified by this discovery. The Obliques are finally segregated in reservations, kept under control and placed far from cities and inhabited lands. Made to produce silk, which shields their radiations. But are the Obliques the origin of all evil or are they part of a new natural balance?
