In this compelling, inspiring, and at times provocative book, Adam Mabry urges us to stop taking sides and refuse to participate in tribalism by mapping out a way to hold in tension truths that we so often divide over.

Set 100 years in the future, the book opens with the wedding of two female friends - Kendra (Ken) Foster-Briggs, exotic actress and film producer and Aiyana Cassidy (Cass), half Irish/half Native American graduate from MIT with a doctorate in optical engineering to Derek James, a man of independent means. The only problem is, instead of the reverend marrying them, he pulls a gun on them, forcing them to run like hell.

Cass and Ken fled their wedding when an assassin tried to kill them. They ran from Los Alamos to Las Vegas to Massachusetts and finally to the flooded remains of New Orleans. Now Kendra will try to recruit her employer to help them get to the bottom of this mystery, but everything has a cost. She may have no choice but to pay it, however. Cass has problems of her own when she discovers that a friend is in jeopardy because of her. Can she organize a rescue attempt?
