Deep in the California woods on an evening in late August, Jane Pearson is camping with her husband, Leo, and their five-year-old son, Benjamin. As dusk sets in, she drifts softly to sleep in a hammock strung outside the tent where Leo and Benjamin are preparing for bed. At that moment, every single person with a Y chromosome vanishes around the world, disappearing from operating theaters mid-surgery, from behind the wheels of cars, from arguments and acts of love. Children, adults, even fetuses are gone in an instant. Leo and Benjamin are gone. No one knows why, how, or where.

Nun wird dieser Klassiker zu ganz neuem Leben erweckt - und aus der Sicht der weiblichen Hauptfigur erzählt. Die gewitzte Mechanikerin Julia hat längst ihre ganz eigenen Strategien entwickelt, um in dem unmenschlichen Überwachungssystem zu überleben. Doch dann verliebt sie sich in Winston, und damit gerät alles aus den Fugen. Dieser eigentümliche Mann gibt Julia immer wieder Rätsel auf, und sollte ihre Liebe auffliegen, könnte sie das ihr Leben kosten.
