In a subterranean laboratory on Monpetit Island a hologram of the earth floats above a silver platform, the ice cap of the North Pole almost touching the ceiling above.
On a beach just a few steps from the laboratory, Anna Atom is about to go for her usual afternoon swim. Life on an Indian Ocean island is idyllic: it is always beach weather!
But Anna’s mom spends most of her days in the laboratory, monitoring the environmental conditions of the earth and communicating them to her employer, United Surveillance. It is one such environmental crisis that sets off a chain of events that takes Anna away from her predictable island existence to the ends of the earth, and changes her life forever.
