Hig managed to escape the flu epidemic that claimed the lives of everyone he knew. He now lives in the hangar of a tiny, deserted airfield with his dog, Jasper, and a temperamental, gun-toting misanthrope called Bangley after his wife and friends pass away.
But when an arbitrary communication comes over his 1956 Cessna's radio, the voice deepens his faith that there is a better life out there outside their strictly regulated boundary. He takes a huge risk by flying beyond his point of no return and following its shattered trail of static, only to discover something that is both worse and better than anything he could have imagined.
