In the year of 2051, Emma, a first-year psychology major, has decided to spend her summer break in an interesting way, traveling with her younger brother, Danny, to the Autonomous Zone of Portland, Oregon. Tragically, Danny is fatally shot during a riot shortly after their arrival in Portland, and whatever interest it was that Emma had in the city is then gone, replaced by an all-consuming desire to find and punish her brother’s killers, which she will, if she lives long enough.
