This is 2084. People are judged off the Kingsley scale in order to find out exactly how gay or straight they are. If they are gay enough they get to live in the utopian floating city of New Jerusalem. If they are straight they have to live in the slum-like breeding grounds. Marxis Vll is a rare breed. He is asexual, meaning that the scale cannot measure his sexuality. As soon as he begins to come to terms that he will live the rest of his lives a sewer rat tossed into the breeding grounds he is approached with a proposition. This proposition won't only change his life but may end up changing the world he lives in.
