Twenty-eight year old Emma Earl, a promising lingerie designer, has been deemed non-essential. Anyone and everyone who has the ability to leave and some place to go is leaving the city as fear of the potentially deadly corona virus escalates and spreads.

But much has changed since Emma left this small mountain hamlet ten years ago.>Some of the changes are in the world she left behind. Emma has always been an outlier, even in her own family.
