the dark side of food

A reclusive genius billionaire and avid stargazer stumbles across an unbelievable discovery with the help of his AI robot that could be a possible threat to life on earth. But does anyone else know?

Meanwhile, data relating to poor dietary habits, eating disorders and food anxiety is spiralling out of control. A coincidence? Could someone be behind this, and if so, how are they doing it? In a society driven by social media and misinformation, five young adults from different walks of life are chosen to use their unique skills, individual thinking and drive to help each other get to the bottom of the mystery, stop the negative trend and create a better world.

An action-packed graphic novel that reminds you of the power of friendship, that anyone can be a hero and what we can learn from following a principle rather than a person. Don’t believe everything you see.
