After the government completely abandons the world to go live in space 2040, the world goes to hell. Laws don't matter anymore, guns are available more than ever, and there are probably tens or hundreds of clans around the world.
Lennon Mickey, a 24 year old, starts to realize that instead of trying to kill each other, we can try to make a new government, a better government, to restart instead to keep killing the population. Ever since he was 14, 10 years earlier when the chaos first started, he had no will to live... but after countless deaths of his family and his friends that he once travelled with, he wants to fix the world that was once home.

They weren't supposed to fall.
And yet, somehow, they found the kind of love people spend lifetimes searching for.
Not in perfection. Not in timing.
But in their getaway hearts.
