Overview

In New America, only the privileged few can find employment after the Transition that saw the annexation of Canada and Latin America. Most people depend on sparse government benefits, but some holdouts have fled to the countryside and survived in what is known as Sustainable Agricultural Communities. After his brother goes missing, Jude Kane, a young technician from a SAC in Cascadia, sets out on a mission to find him and bring him home. Joined by his sister Maisy, an aspiring doctor, and Zara Malik, an aspiring journalist, they lend their technical and medical skills to struggling SACs along the way. Zara's reports unwittingly start a movement of hope, truth, and independence that makes them a threat to the status quo. Jude soon discovers his brother is being held by the authorities, and as the Sparrows grow in influence, his brother's fate becomes more uncertain.
