Breath for Sale

Synopsis

In a world where clean air must be bought, every breath comes at a price. Society is divided between those who live under sealed domes with regulated oxygen and those trapped outside in zones believed to be toxic and unbreathable. Oxygen is tracked, rationed, and sold—and running out means death. When a system failure pushes Anderson Herting to the edge of survival, he is forced beyond the boundaries of his controlled city. Expecting deadly, polluted air, he instead discovers something impossible: the outside air is breathable. But this discovery shatters everything he has been taught. If the outside world is livable, then the system controlling oxygen inside the domes is built on a lie. Refusing to stay silent, Anderson begins building a resistance of his own starting with a few close friends and his younger brother, Harry Herting. Together, they uncover the truth behind the air economy and challenge the system that decides who gets to breathe freely. As their movement grows, so does the danger, and they quickly learn that in a world where air is for sale, exposing the truth may cost them everything they have left to breathe.
