When their power is turned off and her husband brings home an injured young woman it will test the limits of Tara's patience and their dwindling resources. But as Tara's life is coming apart the society that they live in collapses around them. The devastating loss of everything she holds dear forces Tara to pick up the pieces in a world unlike anything she's ever known.
