1906 After Backwards. Under the new regime that rules over New Venice, Brentford Orsini and Gabriel d'Allier are constantly slandered and demoted to minor jobs- the first one as a chief of Cabinet at the despised Court of Confiscation, the second as a rank-and-file Dream Interpreter. But, through a series of strange incidents and stranger coincidences, it quickly appears that both positions hold the key to the most enduring mysteries of New Venice: a powerful mind-blowing drug of unclear origins, nicknamed “Pineapples & Plums and a mythical creature known as Kiggertarpoq, the Polar Kangaroo. But their quest awakes tensions and troubles that eventually explode during the carnival season. In a time of unprecedented crisis, Brenford and Gabriel have no choice but to go the whole way, again. While Brentford follows through the most unexpected recesses of the city a labyrinthine trail of clues that lead him to the Seven Sleepers themselves, Gabriel has to defend the Polar Kangaroo against the mysterious party who wants to ban it from dreams. What they will both discover will seem beyond belief and challenge reality itself. But it may too be late: slipping through a rent in Time, a hard-boiled billionaire hunter arrives to kidnap the Dauphin-Doges and kill the Polar Kangaroo while a Russian army marches towards New Venice and set its under siege, threatening its very existence... Well, if it does exist, that is.
