Camp Zero

Set in the year 2049, the narrative follows Rose, a woman who accepts a contract at a remote settlement in northern Canada called Camp Zero. She works as a high-end escort for the site’s architects, secretly reporting to a handler in exchange for a home for her mother in the elite Floating City. Concurrently, a former academic named Grant seeks distance from his wealthy family’s legacy by teaching at the camp. Their lives intersect against the backdrop of a warming world where a private corporation builds a hidden archive while a nearby feminist collective of climate researchers occupies a decommissioned Cold War station.
