The world is gone.
But there are the remains of it.
Each week, a small but growing number of people from Andersonville climb Service Hill, drawn by a strange new faith, by its promise and simple message, and by its charismatic leader.
It is a message of Brotherhood. But it is also a message that begins to endanger the lives of two young people reinventing electric power in a town that has survived for twenty years without even running water.
Inevitably, the new faith finds its way into the City, challenging no authority, yet salvaging lost souls who haunt the crumbling areas long abandoned to the old plague. But redemption is a dangerous business, and a new convert is finding secrets he can not live with, that have already cost lives, and is asking what is the use of faith if its believers must suppress the truth for it?
Service Hill has secrets of its own. The Church of the Word aims to establish an institution. But can it endure if it conceals a crime that is not paid for?
The prospect of electric power, of a rebirth of industry, is charging the air of Andersonville with a new optimism, a new hope. But if it is not to become a cruel illusion, if the Town of Andersonville is to survive, its young government must rediscover the source of justice on earth.
