"The "Line" was an artificial barrier more than 100 miles off the coast of New England that separated American and Canadian fisheries resources. It was established in the 1980s by the International Court in the Hauge, hence the name "the Hauge Line". Nearly from the outset, it became a tempting target for American fishermen, but when the Atlantic scallop resource collapsed on the American side of the Line, desperation drove American fishermen to tempt ruin or worse to maintain their livelihood.

On the West Coast of the United States in the mid-twenty-first century, several decades after an ill-fated Secession, a young solder is chosen to lead the Security team for a mile-wide dance club. Lt. Sean Mallory's "Blackshirts" as they're dubbed by the customers, find themselves embroiled in a bitter turf war with several gangs on their own grounds. Though Sean's worst enemy is pulling most of the strings, someone from much further out of town is actually responsible-light-years further out, in fact.
