In a post-apocalyptic flooded world, the last remaining humans live on large Navy aircraft carriers huddled together forming a city. The richest people enslaved and oppressed the rest of the masses to maintain total control and power.
Two Lovers who share the same hatred for the government have spent their entire lives dreaming of escaping from a life of slavery and government oppression to find land where they can be free. Even though their parents and the society around them told them that they were crazy and that trying to find land was pointless. The Lovers are determined to follow their dream to try to find a way to escape the city to seek land and be free. Even if that means possibly dying in the process.
Meanwhile, as the two Lovers search for a way to escape the city, two Police Detectives investigate a series of unsolved crimes and murders all over the city that may or may not be linked to the two lovers.

**********
A GOOD MAN, FALLING APART
Small town police officer Simon Labelle repressed his attraction to sexy shopgirl Leona Chaisty for years. He's good at controlling his feelings--or he used to be, before the bombing that he can't solve, that he should have prevented. Now, after a chance encounter with Leona at the lake, Simon can't get her out of his head. All those high school fantasies roar to life.
A BAD GIRL, WISHING FOR MORE
Leona is drawn to the intensity in Simon's pretty-boy blue eyes, but he's a good man, and she's not just hopelessly kinky--she'll never know how to love. Still, unlike everyone else, Simon acts like she might actually have a heart. The more time they spend together, the more she wishes he were right.
A CHALLENGE NEITHER CAN RESIST
After a second unsolved case pulls them together, their sexual chemistry rattles them both, and hints at an unsettling fetish that Simon struggles to suppress. Leona pushes Simon to decide what he wants--whether to dominate, submit, or some mix of both--while Simon, already falling for his dream girl, finally gets her to admit that she's lonely.
Each challenges the other to reveal more, to cede control, to be vulnerable. But they're both more fragile than they appear. It's only a matter of time before one pushes too hard, and the other breaks.
**********
Trigger warnings for depression, suicidal ideation, and possibly alcoholism. Significant child abuse (neglect only) is also part of a character's backstory.
There is gender-bending, femdom, and a pretty scary control-based fetish.
There is also off-screen violence and death, and mild on-screen violence.
