Following the ecological destruction of a futuristic version of Seattle, the city's inhabitants are forced to flee. An obscure author, who has stayed behind to care for his terminally ill mother, is drawn in by a mysterious group called The Guild of Saint Cooper who convince him to help salvage the city's future by rewriting its past.
