After the Arctic Recession, America does not heal-it fractures.
Famine rots the soil. Disease stalks the streets. Faith is rationed. Violence is policy.
The country splits down the spine into two militant ideologies: the Purple Confederates and the Yellow Union-both preaching salvation, both fluent in cruelty. Neutrality is treason. Love is contraband.
In the margins of this collapsing nation lives Fatsy Okafor-a Catholic midwife in Hensley, Arkansas, trained to bring life into a world obsessed with death. Born in Bumsworth, Alabama to a Jamaican immigrant mother and a Tahitian-American father, Fatsy survives by obedience, silence, and prayer. She believes in order. She believes in rules. She believes survival requires shrinking.
Then there's Kemba Atienio.
East Hensley born. Kenyan bloodline. American fire.
Kemba is ambition without apology-optimistic, sharp-tongued, unbreakable. She does not kneel to doctrine or party lines. She questions everything. She refuses to be owned. Where Fatsy endures, Kemba disrupts.
Their meeting is not gentle.
It is a collision.
As propaganda tightens its grip and bodies stack higher than the winter snow, love sparks where it shouldn't-between sermons and sirens, riots and quiet rooms. What begins as desire becomes defiance. What becomes defiance turns revolutionary.
In a country that demands obedience, two women choose each other-and in doing so, threaten the architecture of power itself.
𝟗𝟗 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 is a dystopian, political, hood-urban love story about survival, deconstruction, wlw intimacy, and the cost of choosing freedom when the world would rather you freeze.
