After a devastating tragedy, Olivia stops running and settles in an unlikely refuge: a cursed, abandoned waterpark in the Mojave Desert near Newberry Springs, California. For a moment, it feels like they might finally have peace.
But when her best friend Sara’s fiancée, CeCe, is captured by the Harmony Syndicate, Olivia is pulled back into the fight. Joined by a small band of allies: Markus, June, Adam, Santiago, and Kyle. She risks everything to rescue CeCe and confront the forces hunting them.
As the resistance grows, Olivia must embrace the full power of her tattoos and stand with the Artist Resistance in a battle against the ruthless Harmony Syndicate and the mysterious, powerful Vacka. In the wasteland, imagination may be the most dangerous weapon of all.
