Description

We outlive capitalism. In our solarpunk future, San Francisco is neon green with sustainable abundance. Climate refugees build new communities in skyscrapers once cluttered with cubicles. But not everyone wants to live in the city of fog-kissed gardens.

A family of survivalists kept to themselves, within rewilded lands. It's a hard and isolated life, and one of their sons chooses to run away. In San Francisco, he finds new friends, even falls in love with a competitive bicyclist. She introduces him to a club of speed demons, who trick out e-bikes to race up the city's legendary hills and careen down again even faster.

When armored trucks roll in bristling with rifles, the survivalists expect to kidnap their son amidst a confusion of explosions and a hellfire of bullets. They don't reckon on the recklessness of his new chosen family. The bicycle gang will go to any length to protect him and at any electrified speed.
