"Y" is none other than Yorick Brown, an unemployed escape artist (his father was a Shakespeare enthusiast), who seems to be the only male human remaining on Earth after the death of every Y-chromosome bearer due to an unexplained epidemic.
However, what keeps him alive together with his loyal friend, the sometimes irritable male monkey named Ampersand? Running from furious female Republicans (now in power), Amazon wannabes, including his own sister (who seems to have been indoctrinated), and other dangers, he sets out to discover the answer—and his lover.
