Summary

"Flowers in the rain, indeed. Big jump in the grain count. I can hear them jumping. This old hippy is sneezing already. Ya Ya! The flowers are spurting pollen all over the Manchester map. Gumbo never seen such a giant, golden step before."

In a strange re-mixed future Manchester a cloud of Pollen descends – a new strain, each tiny grain a murderer. Within days the streets of the city are overgrown with vicious blooms as the fiercest hay fever epidemic of all time takes hold.

People are sneezing themselves to death and the pollen count is racing towards 2,000. But a small percentage of the population are immune to the fever. Two of them – shadow-cop Sibyl Jones and her wayward daughter Boda – are on separate path into the dark place from where the pollen originates. What they find there will change their lives together. Only they can save the city.
