The year is 2063. Earth has been reborn, unleashing long-dormant magical forces across the globe. Megacorporations rule from on high, while organized crime syndicates rule the underworld. Sliding through the cracks are the shadowrunners-professionals who will do anything for a profit . . . and anything it takes to get the job done. Breaking into a greenhouse to snatch a bunch of plants sounds like a milk run-and the troll known as Hood and his fellow shadowrunners have no problem taking on such an easy, lucrative assignment. Unfortunately for the runners, the greenhouse in question is owned by the Plantech Corporation and they're extremely protective of their unique agriculture. After escaping by the skin of their teeth, Hood's team feels justified in forcing their mysterious client to renegotiate their fee before delivering the goods. But when the shadowrunners arrive at the meeting they find a dead body and a cadre of cops waiting to take them in. Someone has set them up - and Hood is determined to weed out what kinds of plants they really stole.
