Des femmes et des hommes se perdent dans leurs pensées au hasard des rues de la ville et des heures du jour. De cette soudaine et silencieuse intimité, seuls les murmures de leur petite voix intérieure nous parviennent encore pour nous dire les inquiétudes de l’amour.

Alexandre Guérin habite la région lyonnaise. Cadre bancaire épanoui d'une quarantaine d'années, époux d'une femme aimante et père de cinq enfants, c'est un catholique pratiquant, tout comme sa famille. Un jour, après une conversation avec un camarade jadis scout comme lui, il se rappelle les abus sexuels dont, enfant, il fut victime de la part d'un prêtre pédophile, le père Bernard Preynat. Les faits sont prescrits. Mais, assailli de souvenirs douloureux, Alexandre décide d'entreprendre une enquête. Il entre en contact avec la psychologue de l'archevêché, Régine Maire. Par son entremise, il obtient un rendez-vous avec le cardinal Philippe Barbarin, archevêque de Lyon. Il découvre alors que malgré l'alerte de plusieurs parents, l'Église a étouffé l'affaire. Régine Maire organise une brève confrontation entre Alexandre et le père Preynat, qui se conclut par une prière commune quasi surréaliste. Malgré les nombreux courriers électroniques d'Alexandre, les autorités ecclésiastiques tergiversent et se défaussent. Pire, lors d'une messe, Alexandre constate que le père Preynat, maintenu en fonctions, se trouve toujours au contact d'enfants.

On July 4th, 2005, in a fictionalized United States alternate history reality, two towns in Texas: El Paso and Abilene were destroyed by twin nuclear attacks that triggered a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions, sending America into a state of anarchy and hysteria, as well as a Third World War (a fictionalized perspective of what the War on Terror would've escalated to). The PATRIOT Act has extended authority to a new agency known as US-IDent, which keeps constant surveillance on citizens—even to the extent of censoring the Internet and requiring fingerprints to access computers and bank accounts. In response to the recent fuel shortage in the wake of global warfare, the German company Treer designs a generator of inexhaustible energy, which is propelled by the perpetual motion of ocean currents, called "Fluid Karma". However, its inventor Baron von Westphalen and his associates are hiding the fact that the generators alter the ocean's currents and cause the Earth to slow its rotation, and that the transmission of Fluid Karma to portable receivers (via quantum entanglement) is ripping holes in the fabric of space and time.
