To trace the history of the twenty-first century so far is to trace a history of unaffordability and shortage. After years of refusing to build sufficient housing, America has a national housing crisis. After years of limiting immigration, we don’t have enough workers. Despite decades of being warned about the consequences of climate change, we haven’t built anything close to the clean-energy infrastructure we need. Ambitious public projects are finished late and over budget—if they are ever finished at all.

Silverton is a town full of characters, and if you happen to be one, you have to play your part to the end—even if it kills you. That's what a down-on-his-luck writer discovers when he finds himself on the bridge of his hometown with no recollection of how he got there. While searching for answers, he discovers that a serial killer plagues his sleepy town. Feeling that it's connected to his blackout, he sets out to solve the mystery of the dead women by navigating a maze of quirky townsfolk, a meth-dealing biker gang, Jesus, the FBI, and rampaging mammoths.
