2027. San Francisco is in shambles after a devastating asteroid strike that obliterated most of the United States, leaving only several cities along the West Coast intact. Enter Hope, a sheltered sixteen year-old girl struggling to keep her five year-old sister safe from the Child Act, a law put in place by diabolical San Francisco mayor, Matthias Koch. The idea? Keep San Francisco "unpolluted." Free of outside survivors. How? Children. Ages 5-14. It's 2027. And this is their reality. *** A/N: Updates will be sporadic but will be in bursts of three chapters!
