The American Heartland is now covered with dust and littered with bones, how it happened nearly forgotten. The few who survive in this desolate wasteland do so in tiny villages, walled in and protected, as much as they can be, from thieves, murderers, marauders.
When the pump that brings them life-sustaining water begins to fail, the villagers of Payull send one of their own to retrieve a new pump from another town that is several days walk away.
Every footstep outside the confines of the village is taking a chance that death will follow. What the runner finds at the end of her journey could easily bring ruin to her village. Without the pump, her village will die. Aided by her friend and companion, who was supposed to stay behind, she has to make a choice.
