The lights came back on. That was the mistake.

Cedar Bluff, Idaho survived the first summer. They dug wells by hand, cut wheat with scythes, and buried their dead in a vacant lot. Then a man in a hazmat suit walks into the street at three in the morning holding a sign with four words on it.

DON'T DRINK THE WATER.

Forty-one extraction wells west of town stopped turning the day the grid died. Nobody told them. Now two hundred and nine people have yellow in their eyes, including Danielle Rottimer's ten-year-old son.

But poisoned water is only the beginning. There is a man on a horse who has been in this valley since 1996, who knew about the plume on day one, and who said nothing. There is a stranger with two revolvers who walks twenty-six miles in the dark for a friend. And there is somebody inside Cedar Bluff who has been talking to the enemy since August.
