Set against the backdrop of an alternate 20th century, the narrative follows the lives of two British superhumans, Fogg and Oblivion, as they navigate a world transformed by the emergence of individuals with extraordinary abilities. These superhumans, known as "The Changed," are caught in the throes of global conflicts, from World War II to the Cold War, as they grapple with questions of morality, identity, and loyalty. The story weaves through time, exploring the personal and political ramifications of power, love, and betrayal, ultimately painting a poignant picture of a century marked by violence and the enduring quest for redemption.
