When a boat is shipwrecked on the shores of Tierra del Fuego, rumours abound that it has come from 'the lost city' of Osiris. For Taeo, a young political exile, the rediscovery of the long-lost island could serve as his lifeline. He must contact the Antarctican spy network if he has any hope of returning to his family.

On the island of Osiris, ex-socialite and founding family member Adelaide Rechnov is positive that the government in the Eastern quarter is keeping secrets, and with the discovery of a long-unused radio signal asking the mainland for help, it is up to her to form the resistance. Why did the leaders decide to stop reaching out? Meanwhile, the awareness of the much-fabled island is spreading on the mainland. And many are heading to the 'lost city' with their own devious objectives.
