An experiment in “re-wilding” the western United States and reviving the environment seems a stunning success—at first. A virus spread by the predators and prey relocated and now thriving in the West devastates the adult human population, raging out of control and reshaping the county.

From unravelling narcissists to melancholy romantics all human life is here - at its best and at its delightful worst.

Stacked caskets and an embalming room in the basement.
