It is the year 2040, and the World has changed forever. In the near dystopian future, climate change and illness have devastated humanity, leaving few habitable safe havens and even fewer resources for survivors. With the world divided into tenuous alliances, conflict is not just unavoidable. It’s a promise. Eve wakes up injured in the medical unit of Vector Surge, one of the remaining alliances in the Atical safe land. Eve has no memory of who she is or where she came from. She later learns that she was spared a grisly death in the dead zone—a no man’s land between alliance bases—by Vector Surge members who found her. With a murky past, she’s met with scrutiny and suspicion by all but Olivia, a nurse practitioner who spends her days treating the injured and saving lives. With an undeniable attraction blooming between the two women, Eve questions if the past really matters, and if she could leave it behind for her newfound family. Yet Vector Surge’s enemies are at the alliance’s doorstep, threatening to unravel everything Eve’s built. As the alliance suffers attacks from all directions, Eve must decide what’s more important: uncovering her past or protecting her present.
