Milions de persones han desaparegut de la Terra de cop i volta. Sense avís. Sense motiu. Alguns dels que queden hi busquen explicacions científiques, però els més fanàtics creuen que es tracta d'un esdeveniment religiós i proliferen tota mena de sectes. En Kevin Garvey, l'home concret davant l'abstracció, procura mantenir una aparença de normalitat malgrat que la seva pròpia família s'està desintegrant: la seva dona s'ha unit al Residu Culpable, una secta local que traspua problemes, i el seu fill Tom segueix un profeta anomenat Sant Wayne. Només queda la seva filla, la Jill; però ja no és la noia dolça que ell coneixia. The Leftovers és una novel·la pertorbadora i emotiva que ens parla de la facilitat amb què la fe pot conduir al fanatisme, i de com persones normals reaccionen davant de fenòmens extraordinaris.
