The incinerator of a waste treatment facility, where a fire blazes fiercely behind a circular window. The sound of a government official’s voice over the radio announces that the name of the era is changing. A nameless protagonist whose coworker delves into mountains of garbage. A boss abusive towards his subordinates. A bus driver asking where he should go. A woman who has lost her mother. Unable to ask for help and or to help themselves, everyone is going through their own madness.

As he tries to adapt to a world he doesn’t recognize – including trying to learn how to use the internet – he finds an abandoned baby in a dumpster behind the fast food restaurant where he works as a dishwasher. Unsure of what to do, and caught between impulses of kindness and panic, Russ soon realizes this could be his chance at redemption.

The story of a young writer's transformation when her past invades her present.
