Two people, separated by a thousand miles, hear rumors of a distant refuge said to withstand the sun. Zeke is a quiet drifter, and Ash is a gifted young man carrying a painful history. Each must cross broken towns and scorched land, racing a sky that threatens them at every dawn. As society collapses and violence spreads, their routes begin to converge around a place that may be the last hope left.
