Here's the official synopsis:

From Emmy-nominated journalist Melissa Chan and esteemed activist artist Badiucao comes a near-future dystopian graphic novel exploring technology, authoritarian government, and the lengths people will go to fight for freedom. It's 2035. The US and China are at war; America is a proto-fascist state; Taiwan is divided. As conflict escalates between nuclear powers, three idealistic youths—who first met in Hong Kong—develop diverging beliefs on navigating this techno-authoritarian world.
