It's been 50 years since an outbreak of a deadly neurotoxin caused the end of the "civilized" world. Cannibal caravans, militarized sewer people, feral pack-hunting orphans, and loyal-to-the-death families fight for the last remaining resources; in their growing desperation, they've become more dangerous than the infected themselves. Things become even more complicated when a rogue gang of kick-ass nuns appears, recruiting women oppressed by the post-apocalyptic patriarchy to spread strange and powerful narcotics across the dismantled country. These drugs, they claim, are the cure to virus. Suddenly there is hope for humanity, hope even for the infected. But will that hope turn to horror when a world that has only known brutality for half a century attempts to re-create an already flawed system? Summerland is the first part in a trilogy that details the social, cultural, and political repercussions of the post-post-apocalyptic reconstruction era, told through the eyes of four young people coming of age at the end of the end of the world.

Callie travels through the void, between parallel dimensions, struggling to find her real self in one of the offshoots of the bigbang. Her lust for adventure takes her places she wouldn't dare to dream of. She comitted to infinite wandering, but her intuition leads her to a forthcoming end.
