It is the year 2020. Six years have passed since the day Facebook became sentient and human society has disintegrated into remote, isolated settlements that are scattered throughout the world since then. The deactivation of all technology accessible to humans by Facebook has caused a pandemic of “Techthritis”, a disease characterized by blue spots all over the body and insanity. Only the strong, whose internet lives have not been merged with their identity and character, overcome their over reliance on technology and survive the apocalypse. Hades Ash Tag, a jaded and cynical 18 year old recluse, is one of the many survivors who have found their way to “The Community”, one of the few human habitations that remain in North America. By fate or by chance, he meets Amelia Hu, a migrant wanderer seems to be the opposite of him in every way: optimistic, sociable, and capricious. They seem to share only one common aspect: a desire to restore humanity to its former greatness, each in their own unique way. Can they survive and accomplish their goals together, and more importantly, can they survive each other?

Death is what comes to people like a thief in the night, snatching them with no intentions of bringing them back. Death is a nagging parent that you try to outsmart time and time again but no matter how many times you may think you have outsmarted them, in the end they will have the last word. Death is the old friend that nobody likes and yet you cannot live without. Death is many things but I never thought it would be my lover. Kore lives alone with her controlling mother, Demi. She hasn't seen any other person besides her homeschool teacher since she was a little girl after a mysterious incident happened at school one day that her mother refuses to talk to her about. She keeps her locked away on a farm and only lets her go out occasionally. It isn't until her cat dies and after picking him up, becomes alive again when she realizes why her mother has locked her away for all these years. She discovers she has the gift of healing. When she confronts her mother about it, her mother reveals to her that they are not human but in fact, Goddesses trapped inside human vessels to protect Kore from the Gods who want to marry her. But things only get worse when one day, as Kore is picking flowers in the meadow, there is an earthquake and she is taken up by this earthquake and falls into the arms of none other than Hades. A modern re-imagining of the story of Persephone.
