It's Satellite City, sometime in the third millennium. It is a vast metropolis, controlled by a giant satellite. Twenty-five million people inhabit the city, and Cosmo Hill is one of them. A fourteen-year-old 'no sponsor' - someone whose parents cannot be traced - he lives in an orphanage, where the children are used as guinea pigs for genetically modified food or untested chemical products.
