Food is rationed, and cities are becoming wastelands of looting and murder. Miles Newell and his family must flee their home in Minneapolis before they too become victims of the violence. Riding the Ali Princess, Miles's clever invention, the family leaves behind all they've ever known to journey into the wilderness and an uncertain future.
