Everything is Broken

Twenty-year-old Russ arrives in the northern California town of Freedom tovisit his dad. Freedom has peculiarities other than its odd name: the local

mayor's ideas of "decentralization" have left it without normal connections to

state or federal government and minimal public services. Russ meets an

interesting young woman, Pendra, but before he can get to know much about

Freedom or its people, a savage tsunami strikes the West Coast. The wave of

human brutality that soon hits the isolated town proves more dangerous to the

survivors than the natural disaster. Russ, his father, Pendra, and the other

townsfolk must tap all their courage and ingenuity — and find strength

they never knew they had — if they have any hope of living to find real

freedom!
