Dina Meyer wants to change the world. She started out in the '70s as a crusading independent filmmaker, but the 21st century finds her serving as press secretary for a governor who checked his principles at the door to the state capitol. Fed up, she decides the only way to awaken people now is to blow their minds.

Hooking up with her old boyfriend, designer drug maker Nick Emerson, Dina concocts Clarity, a drug that makes people see through lies and distortions. "C" spreads like a benevolent virus through clubs, activist networks, even the highest reaches of government. As people begin to wake up, the authorities try to crack down. But how can they outlaw awareness? What astonishing things happen when citizens begin to think for themselves?
