Jason and Nara are trapped in the same catastrophe, even though they’re from opposite ends of the world. Jason is a landscaper and survivalist from the Georgia backwoods. Nara is a teenage exchange student from China to Atlanta. Jason lost his son six years prior–and blames himself. Nara was rejected by society for a moral failure–and she’s wrestled with depression ever since.

When a cyberattack shuts down the United States power grid, Jason and Nara are forced to watch opposing sides of the disaster rip modernity apart. Starvation, dehydration, and violence take over society. True colors–including things within Jason and Nara–rise to the surface. If they’re going to stay alive, Jason and Nara must face the darkness in their pasts, take deadly risks, and, most frightening of all–learn to trust again.
