They have done this since the war broke the world. The ones who escape their fate, are called The Escapents. Most of them don't make it, for the government catches them, they fight other escapents, or they starve. Amalia is one of the escapents. She's made it 4 years past her due date, and she begins to find secrets about herself, and the government. How do her actions change everything, and every child's fate?

It is Resa's birthday and she is 54 years old. She has one year left until she goes over and she has been perfectly happy for the past 37 years, never questioning whether or not she loves her husband or even likes her children. But now she does. She has heard that some run but most, pretty much all, just go over. They go peacefully but Resa cannot believe they go happily. Older than her husband, she must go alone. She is given a guide dog to help her to make sense of the transition, to be with her, to be the be the only thing she knows on the day she turns 55. She doesn't even know what to call it.
