✦ Synopsis

**The author of the acclaimed novel Scarborough weaves an unforgettable and timely dystopian tale about a near-future, where **a queer Black performer and his allies join forces to rise up when an oppressive regime gathers those deemed "Other" into concentration camps.
Set in a terrifyingly familiar near future, with massive floods leading to rampant homelessness and devastation, a government-sanctioned regime called The Boots seizes on the opportunity to round up communities of color, the disabled, and the LGBTQ+ into labor camps.

In the shadows, a new hero emerges. After his livelihood as a drag queen and the love of his life are taken away from him, Kay joins the resistance alongside Bahadur, a transmasculine refugee, and Firuzeh, a queer frontline worker. Guiding them in the use of weapons and close-quarters combat is Beck, a rogue army officer, who helps them plan an uprising at an upcoming large, international event.
