How would the United States government respond to an endless deluge of climate disasters barraging its western coast? By converting the land into Unincorporated Territory and selling it to the highest bidder. A new region, called Kingcardine by its sculptors and inhabitants, has been consolidated into a single city that stretches from Portland to Seattle, altered forever by two of the most powerful forces known to man: climate change and capitalism. It is a haven for the ultrawealthy and the destitute alike, but few call it home. One such person is Amelia Moreno, who returns to Kingcardine with her mother after more than a decade spent away. On her pilgrimage, she tries to understand the intricacies of the new city and the elite who control it but discovers a depraved secret at its heart. Will the same forces that transformed her home change her as well, or will she overcome Kingcardine and its many trappings?
