Two young Gatlin residents are orphaned after the younger brother kills their father. The terror of Gatlin goes urban when the two boys are placed in the custody of two foster parents in the city. The younger brother takes some corn seeds along for the road and plants them in the courtyard of an abandoned warehouse, bringing "He Who Walks Behind the Rows" to the city.
Beginning of the twenty-third century.
Somewhere in the three evels of NYC, there's a woman with blue hair, who cries blue tears. Her name is Jill Bioskop.
She doesn't know yet, but Horus the falcon-headed god has cruised half the universe to meet her.
Horus has been sentenced to death by his peers. He has just seven days to live. Seven days to find Jill in the maze of the city and seduce her. But to do so, he needs to possess a human body. A vechile of flesh. It will be Alcide Nikopol, a political prisoner who was cryogenised thirty years before because he knew too much about the New York Apartheid.
Horus, Nikopol and Jill Bioskop… A weird ménage ? trois where everything is twisted: voices, bodies, memories… Everything but love, which shows up where it wasn't expected. Meanwhile, the pyramid of the gods flies above Manhattan, aliens make secret plans at the top of skyscrapers, a non-human serial killer walks the street of level 1…
