Jared Crandall’s life seems as broken as the Utah landscape surrounding him. With the Great Quake having shattered roads throughout the country and isolating him in his cabin, Jared assumes he will die alone. But Keith Martin, his old LDS missionary companion, finds him, arriving on an unusual motorcycle called the XEB. Keith brings a letter from Church headquarters asking Jared to serve again as his companion—to cross a desolate country where anarchy prevails and to fulfill a mission whose purpose is unclear. A call Jared cannot refuse.

Things in the fishing town of Cold Storage, Alaska, are changing.
