The series features two young female protagonists and focuses on the first generation to come-of-age in the apocalypse. Some become heroes. Some become villains. In the end, all of them are changed forever. Grown-up and cemented in their identities, both good and bad.
After a white cop in Chicago mistakenly shoots and kills a black doctor, we follow three vastly different families that all have connections with the case as the story is told from each perspective.
