An inspector investigates mass deaths in a society devoted to compulsory wellbeing, finding traces of a childhood rebellion she survived.
Thirteen years after a suicide pact with friends, Tuan works away from the managed society she resents. A new crisis brings that unresolved past back into her present duties.
The society treats health as a collective obligation, leaving little room for a person who wants to refuse its idea of a good life. Tuan's history makes that conflict personal before it becomes an investigation. The new deaths connect an apparent public emergency with relationships that have never become safely past. Consider it for a speculative thriller about autonomy under benevolent control.
