Synopsis

When a biological weapon accident destroys Vic Riga's hometown and along with it her entire family, the United States is put on lockdown by the rest of the world. Disabled and queer, Vic had been glad to escape the claustrophobia and racism of the Florida fishing village where generations of her family had fished, smuggled, run drugs, and lived strangely long lives but now she has become the last of her people. Driven by survivors' guilt, Vic works to peel back layers and years of lies to find out the truth of the government's involvement in the environmental catastrophe, the truth about her family, and the truth about her own body-all within the midst of a country thrown into chaos.
