What does the world look like when the banks close, the lights go out, and food is no longer stocked in the grocery stores? Before the upheaval, things seemed normal—or as normal as they could seem for Noelle Martinez when her mom decides they should leave their comfortable home in Seattle and move north to rural Arlington right before Noelle starts high school. Noelle doesn’t want to move. New people mean new opportunities to be bullied. Thankfully, Noelle finds an ally in all-around great guy, Carl. For a while, life gets better. Until it doesn’t. Everything a millennial faces today—an economy built on massive debt, global warming, racism, political divisiveness, and an uncertain future—collides in a world changing, civilization collapsing torrent in the year 2018. Could this be the last generation of humans on Earth? Noelle navigates all of this sudden change—first without Carl, and then without her mom—and embarks upon a lone journey of survival. When Carl does return to a burnt out Arlington ruled by the Road Ravager motorcycle gang, he finds no family and no Noelle. Noelle and Carl’s harrowing journey back to each other and forward together into an apocalyptic future is as exciting as it is frightening. Will the young lovers find a safe haven in the small town of Darrington? Is there something like a future there for Noelle and Carl, their dog, Murphy—or even children?
