Following a period of violent unrest, the city of Terminus is divided into color-coded zones – each block outside of the green zone brings citizens deeper into unguarded chaos. At an exclusive green-zone club, Matt receives a cryptic invitation to attend a secret ceremony in an abandoned church in the red zone.

After taking a hallucinogen drink called “Peace,” he has a liberating, near-death experience. He then attends a series of ceremonies around the city that continue to distribute the entheogen almost as a sacrament. Seemingly favored by the shadowy shaman (called “the Peacemaker”), Matt rises within the group (some say cult).

As the movement grows across the zones, Peace threatens the powers who control Terminus, and Matt finds himself at the center of a struggle for the soul of the city.
