Overview
"Sometime in the near future, dust storms ravage the land and destroy almost all civilization. Nour is a nonbinary scavenger returning to their childhood home in upstate New York — which they left to flee their emotionally abusive parents — to see if their younger sister Hana is still alive. The two were close before the storms, but Nour's sudden leaving drove a wedge between them, one that Nour hopes to repair (if Hana's not already dead). After being violently separated from their initial travel companions Ardot and Crowley, Nour comes across an abrasive and secretive transgender woman named Tamara. Though tensions are high between the two after Tamara convinces Nour to reluctantly take her along, they begin to grow closer to one another in ways neither expected the closer they get to Nour's destination." -- Abstract
