The world is dead, and a generation that has known nothing but its skeleton must now bring it back to life. Deep in the swamps of Louisiana, Oscar Dixie struggles to provide for the empire he's built, while his brother and sister, scattered across the country, make their ways back to their long lost sibling. They are drawn to his rising fame and power, like so many others, but not everyone looking for him has a reunion on their mind. When a dangerous foe travels south to challenge him, Oscar and the family he barely knows find themselves in a wrestle for power and responsibilities they do not want. But if Oscar doesn't take his place in history, someone else will.
