A wealthy businessman—known by most as Joe Kettleman—is on the run from a wife who wants him dead, detectives who want him for a double homicide, and a tumor that wants him for an early grave. Badly wounded and unwilling to spend his final days under chemical bombardment, he slips away to a remote cabin in New Mexico.
When supplies dwindle, Joe is forced to take a perilous journey through the deserts of the Bisti Badlands. Two days into what was supposed to be a five day trek, he comes across a town.
A small city, really. Right in the middle of nowhere. And it’s not on any map.
That’s when Joe’s fate collides with that of a beautiful young woman, desperate to escape the strange city and making wild claims about a genetically-enhanced pandemic that will soon wipe out most of humanity.
She’s delusional… right?
