The ultra-rich, a.k.a. the One Percenters, live in protected areas while the rest of humanity faces pollution, plagues and early death. The One Percenters are the only ones who can afford all the advances of technology, in particular the exclusive Age Prevention Program (APP) that lets them live their whole life span looking "forever young" till the day they drop dead.Three friends, Lizzie, a young California golf champion, Jamie, an investigative journalist for the World and US Post and Alice, a lovely Swiss nurse, struggle for survival.Only two options are open to escape extinction. One is the "immortality trip" to another planet much like Earth before industrialization, the other is taking refuge in Antarctica, the last virgin continent - but both are reserved to One Percenters. How can Alice who's not a One Percenter make it? But her problems don't stop there. She is in love with Jamie who is in love with Lizzie...
