September 20, 2018. A high-altitude EMP detonation plunges the eastern seaboard into darkness. In Veridian City, attorney Kira Evans is trapped in the courthouse parking structure after losing the EPC Inc. toxic tort case. As looters swarm the streets and police abandon their posts, Kira walks twelve miles home through a rapidly disintegrating city, noticing with dread that the violence around her feels less like a nightmare and more like a homecoming. Her ten-year-old son Leo, left alone in their suburban house, has already killed an intruder with a methodical calm that mirrors his great-grandfather's unsolved murders.
