In a transformed American West, the Electric Belt has emerged as a beacon of prosperity. Thanks to Nautlix Inc.’s revolutionary helium-deuterium fusion plants in California and a massive water synthesis facility in Nevada, states like Arizona have been reborn. With electricity prices plummeting, the region is seeing a massive population influx and a total shift toward an all electric lifestyle.

The story follows a family in Tucson, Arizona, caught in the middle of this energy revolution. As they transition their home to handle the demands of an electric vehicle, high-end induction appliances, and a new robotic assistant, they hire a local electrician named Chad, who is 35 years old, to carry out a necessary power grid upgrade. Despite his boastful attitude and unsettling demeanor, he is signed on for the job.

The situation turns volatile when the homeowner returns to find his wife, Haley, 29 years old, in a heated confrontation. Chad has not only inflated the project cost to an exorbitant $40,000 but has also made a predatory, indecent proposal offering a steep discount in exchange for sexual favors. Confident in his protection from the local union boss, Jimmy, Chad mocks the couple’s threats of retaliation. With their loyal Labrador, Charlie, sensing the danger and Haley trembling with rage, the homeowner is forced to confront a man who believes he is untouchable in a world where power both electrical and social is everything.
