After a nuclear war that devastated the world, civilization is a bust and society has fallen. Three types of communities have popped up all over the United States to claim what is left of the ashes. The land is struck by poverty and mutations from radiation, leaving order and sanity out of the question. Everyone is vulnerable, and a gang called The Slaves have no problem taking over. All girls within the Citizens Communities must be handed over at birth and given to the Prostitution Camps. The only ones exempt are The God's Communites, full of naked beggars who believe that soon salvation will come and they will all parish before returning to paradise. June had managed to escape The Slaves for eight years, but it wasn't long enough, because she was taken and now her body is at their disposal. Building a strong hatred for the Boss and all men, June has befriended one of the only cheerful girls left, and soon meets a curious stranger, who isn't like all the others. She dreams of her past and prays for an escape, but what happens when she hears of possible freedom down south, and the stranger who returns more and more often wants to help her in any way he can? Can she learn to trust a man and face the horrors that extend far past prostitution or will she crumble at the face of death outside the gates that she knows as home?
When Chef Margot loses her beloved restaurant to her cheating ex-fiance, her best friend, single dad Nathan, steps in with an unexpected offer to help her start over. As they collaborate, sparks fly-but can they overcome their complicated pasts for a chance at real love?
