By 2031, the American experiment has failed.
A theocratic coup has transformed the United States into an authoritarian state. White Christian nationalists control the government. Millions of non-white immigrants and citizens have been forced into labor camps or driven into exile. The Constitution is void. The economy has collapsed, and the country that once promised freedom now hunts anyone who remembers what that word meant.
Dr. James Naismith is a ghost in this new America. He's Pakistani-American, a Muslim, and on the run with a bounty on his head. James practices medicine illegally for the underground resistance and those on the run, treating fugitives, rebels, and anyone the regime has designated undesirable in this new country. His medical kit is contraband. His patients are criminals. His survival depends on staying invisible.
But Dr. James isn't running to save himself. His two younger sisters have been incarcerated in a labor camp, and every mile brings him closer to rescuing his them and escaping across the border, if they're still alive.
While working in New York City, an unexpected reunion changes everything. Deanna, a woman from his recent past, offers him more than shelter and supplies for a night. She has connections with the underground, survival skills, and some military training learned from her father and brothers. With her skills and knowledge, she leads the escape from Homeland Security across upper New England towards a safe haven through dangerous territory in the fractured nation, igniting a simmering romance along the way.
Together, they navigate a landscape of betrayal and surveillance, where allies can become enemies and every decision may have fatal consequences. The federal police are hunting them. The resistance network is fragmented. And the journey to safety may cost James more than his freedom; it may cost him his sisters.
A powerful vision of democracy's collapse and one man's fight for family, faith, and a future worth living.
