Infos

Earth is choked by toxic air, and humanity survives within bio domes controlled by Global Breathe, a corporation that rations the very air we breathe. For Elara Harding, every breath her asthmatic daughter Maya takes is a victory, a defiance against the suffocating world. But Maya is fading, and Elara's meager earnings can't afford the oxygen her daughter needs to survive.
Hope whispers on the wind, carried by a dying refugee who speaks of 'Sanctuary' - a place where clean air still exists. Armed with a tattered map and fueled by a mother's fierce love, Elara and Maya escape Breath Zone 7, venturing into the toxic wasteland that was once Earth.
The outside world is a brutal teacher. Gritty dust storms scour the skeletal landscape, mutated creatures stalk the ruins, and the very air threatens to steal Maya's last breath. Yet, amidst the desolation, they find unexpected allies - Zachary, a disillusioned scientist haunted by his past, and the resilient community of Sanctuary, hidden within a deep canyon.
But Sanctuary harbors a dark secret, a terrible ethical compromise that sustains its lush, life-giving valley.  And their escape has not gone unnoticed. Morgan Lester, Global Breathe's ruthless head of security, dispatches genetically modified bounty hunters to retrieve Elara and Maya - dead or alive.  A deadly game of cat and mouse unfolds across the ravaged landscape, a desperate race against time and a powerful corporation determined to maintain its control.
As the bounty hunters close in, Elara must confront a devastating moral dilemma: accept Sanctuary's flawed utopia or risk everything for a more ethical future.  Her choice will determine not only her daughter's fate but the very survival of this fragile oasis of hope in a dying world. One thing is certain: in a world where breath is power, Elara will fight for every last gasp.
