The story follows Ivan Allinger, the Commander of the International Secret Police in a chaotic future where remnants of fascism threaten global peace. After an attempt on his life, Ivan is saved by an alien scientist named Draken, who transports him to the distant and advanced world of Mohln. There, he meets Jokan, a perfect woman who embodies the beauty of their society but also represents its inherent stagnation and decay. Draken reveals that the culture of Mohln has become too complacent and requires destruction to foster a renewed pursuit of progress and creativity.
