In a future Earth ravaged by radiation, the Northern Base is one of humanity's last bastions of survival--and that survival depends on keeping nonhuman life forms out at all costs.
Anzhe, a mushroom disguised as a human, knows that stepping foot in the Northern Base is risking instant extermination. But he has no choice: The humans have taken his spore, and he is instinctually driven by the need to reclaim it.
His mission depends on passing flawlessly as a human. While Anzhe is able to fool the Base's advanced technology, he's unlucky enough to have caught the keen eye of the handsome but merciless Judge--a man licensed to kill to keep the Northern Base safe from parasites, and invaders. Can Anzhe survive under the watch of those beautiful eyes?
