Each year, Greenland's soil gains another 5mm as the permafrost goes deeper, thanks to climate change. As the soil depth approaches 90cm, fir and larch can thrive, and so too can agriculture, leading to a potential economic boom. The year is 2063. Greenland is prosperous, pleasant (if somewhat boggy) and newly independent. The majority Inuit mostly get along with the Danes who also call Greenland home. Anna Qaanivaq is the young Director of the Department of Public Health, dealing with a public health emergency: a pandemic called the "vomiting virus". Alex Larsen is an engineering student with ideas. Hendrik Christiansen is a 16 year old, thrust into the world of adults as he undertakes his summer internship far from home. The pandemic is only one of the challenges which this fledgling nation must cope with, with the help of these 3 individuals.
