Suunnattoman katastrofin - ehkä ilmastonmuutoksen, ehkä jonkin muun - läpikäynyt ihmiskunta sinnittelee veden vähyyden ja sen säännöstelyä hallitsevan diktatuurin vallan alla. Vain kaatopaikoille hautautunut teknologia ja teemestarien sukupolvien ajan pitämät päiväkirjat muistuttavat entisistä ajoista.
Noria on teemestarien sukua, ja pian on hänen vuoronsa ottaa vastaan täysivaltaisen teemestarin arvo - ja edeltäjiensä tarkkaan varjelema salaisuus. Aikana, jona veden kätkeminen on rikoksista pahin, sotilasvallan katseet kiinnittyvät väistämättä teemestarin taloon...
