Summary | A device called "Port"--an irresistible space-time travel product from PINA, the world's largest tech company--has caused Earth's population to plummet. Among Port's few remaining sceptics and resisters is Marie, who lives in a small community camping out in the abandoned mansions of a former steel town, hoping that her long lost lover will one day return to the spot where he disappeared. Meanwhile, Brandon, the right-hand man to the mad genius who invented Port, decides to defect. He steals a car and drives north-east, where he hopes to find his missing mother. And there he meets Marie. |
