2043. Despite lip service to climate action, the fossil fuel industry continues to thrive. Shit’s bad. The rich continue to ignore it, isolated in air-conditioned Bubble communities and reaping the benefits of disaster capitalism. But in a roadside bar on the Outside, a movement of collective power is brewing. A group of revolutionaries–a journalist, a hedge fund manager, and an ancient tree nymph–are tapping into a mythic and elemental magic that will demand that the powerful break the cycle of destruction, or face its consequences.

*Featuring Tony-nominee Jeannette Bayardelle*

Our world is shaped by the stories we choose to tell. What if we made a new myth, for a new world?
