Description: "It's 2036. Disgraced and drummed out of work because of a bad decision made in her youth, nanotechnology researcher Inaz Xicay responds to an old friend's invitation to practice in Toronto. Upon arriving, she finds an impoverished community living on disputed land coveted by a mining company. When rejected by her best friend and new lover, Inez considers a job offer that would restore the lifestyle she craves but leave her allied with a corporate giant threatening the lives of good people. Will she choose to betray her principles again or stay with the people to resist?"--Page 4 of wrapper.
