But by the spring of 2016, Alistairās plan has come undone: His fantasy banking job has eluded him, heās mired in student debt, and in his desperation heās gone to work for an enigmatic billionaire whose ambitions turn out to be far darker than Alistair could have imagined. By the time Alistair uncovers his employerās secret, his life is in danger and heās forced to go on the run.Ā

Meanwhile, Alistairās paramours, an older couple named Mark and Elijah, must face their own moral and financial dilemmas. Mark, nearing the end of his trust fund, takes a job with his fatherās mobile-home empire that forces him to confront the unsavory foundations of his familyās wealth, while Elijah, a failed painter, throws in his lot with an artist-provocateur whose latest project transforms the countryās political chaos into a thing of alluring, amoral beauty. As the nation hurtles toward a breaking point, Alistair, Mark, and Elijah must band together to save one another and themselves.
