About Primal Instinct:
The year is 2099. After going bankrupt trying to mitigate the climate disasters it failed to stop in time, the American government literally auctioned off huge portions of the country to rich corporations. The people living on these auctioned-off lands are basically serfs, wholly dependent on the wealthy for everything from food to a roof to steady employment. The blue-bloods’ favor is made all the more vital in the massive flooding and toxic environment rendered real by the climate crisis. The rich shamelessly exploit those below them, with their money protecting them from whatever crime they might commit. Freddie Molloy is a victim of this new pecking order. Mutated, cynical, and lonely, he holds no hope for the world he lives in. But all of that will change when he first hears a mermaid’s hypnotic song.
