Set in the declining industrial city of Montbray, Missouri, once a powerhouse of American defense manufacturing now plagued by urban decay, high crime, and a punishing eighty-year electricity monopoly, the story follows the heating mayoral race between candidates Robert Henderson and Miranda Brown. Amid crippling power rates reaching forty cents per kilowatt-hour, 29-year-old Makayla watches the political theater with deep cynicism, walking away from a campaign rally with her husband. While politicians trade promises and court powerful labor unions like the Montbray Labor Union with grand schemes for a massive new oil plant, Makayla remains entirely unswayed by the rhetoric, caring only about practical survival, whether the city will actually be run properly, and the cost of food on their dinner table as the election draws closer.
