Tout commence à Toronto, à la fin du millénaire, le jour où Lilah Kemp, ex-bibliothécaire, spirite, déclarée schizophrène, laisse échapper Kurtz de la page 181 du roman de Joseph Conrad, "Au coeur des ténèbres". Dans ce monde fou où les héroïnes romantiques vendent leurs charmes, où les hommes d'affaires créent des clubs pour abuser d'adolescents, où les psychiatres résolvent les problèmes de leurs patients en fonction de leur propre intérêt, où le ciel est rempli de nuées jaunes que répandent les escadrons M pour exterminer les oiseaux, Lilah se lance dans une quête désespérée du Marlow qui saura contrer Kurtz.
