2018 Athena Award for Excellence The world of Emmaline Dohring, an aimless high school girl, is shattered when a global catastrophic event triggers mass starvation and the breakdown of modern civilization. Her family retreats to her prepper grandfather’s farm to wait out the volcanic winter. Once there, they remain relatively untouched by the disintegration of law and order until a trusted friend betrays her, and an armed gang chases Em and her family out into the cold reality of a dying world. Connor Falk bears little love for his father, the man who clawed his way up the ranks to become the Chief of Police, and who has now seized control of the city of St. Marys. However, when his dad begins raiding suspected hoarders, Connor sees this as justice; how can people withhold food and supplies from those who are starving? He views Em and her family as criminally selfish. Even after their stores are seized, Em’s crew refuses to obey the new rules, and worse, they want his father dead. The two are bitter foes, and yet they can’t deny the attraction they feel for each other. As tensions escalate between the hoarders and the raiders, sparks of another sort fly between Em and Connor. But in a world ruled by violence and greed, the likelihood of making it to their next birthdays is small. Their flame cannot ignite unless they band together to conquer Life After Chocolate.
