When the stock market collapses and hyperinflation sets in, civilization falls apart practically overnight. Wholesale rioting and looting grip every major city. Communication, commerce, transportation, and law enforcement disappear. Hordes of refugees and looters pour out of the cities and into the countryside. It's the end of the world as we know it. With communications down nationwide, Todd and Mary have no way of knowing if many of their friends or relatives are dead or alive. The novel is a highly unusual blend of fiction and fact.
