It is the New Time, a time not so different from our own except that the men are gone. All but eleven percent of them, that is, the minimum required to avoid inbreeding. They are safely under lock and key in 'spa' centres for women's pleasure (trained by amazons to fulfil all desires) and procreation. But all social engineering has its costs. Four different lives intersect: Medea, a tiny, long-haired witch and snake whisperer; Wicca, a young priestess who excelled at the 'self-pleasuring' curriculum in school and has lost her pregnant lover; Eva, a doctor working in a spa centre, and Silence, who lives in an almost abandoned convent. Each will discover the cracks in this women's paradise.
