Europe is rising from the chaos and hallucination of an apocalyptic Psycho-Chemical War. Untold millions have perished and the line between reason and sanity has vanished. Out of this devastation comes Colin Charteris, a futuristic Don Quixote who is swept from obscurity and hailed as the new leader by an England desperate for salvation. In his efforts to make sense of the drugged madness that surrounds him, Colin becomes the savior the people want. But when he starts to believe he really is the Messiah, the world turns completely upside down.
