In the year 2050, Nayhoom Waddell and Naomi Pendergrass are confronted with end of life issues, meaning the possible, absolute end of human life, maybe even all of life. But their main concerns are with themselves and their unborn child and staying alive. Global warming has become more than a possibility, it is taking place worldwide and people are struggling to survive. The insane climate is not as much an issue as the fact that in the United States the population is dividing into two predominant groups, known widely as The Haves and The Have-Nots. The have-nots have come to be called hooligans. The Haves are in general, people who are not hooligans. Strife is common, and the acknowledged way of life for everyone. Nayhoom and Naomi, after being married, eventually have to run for their lives and find a place to hide and birth their baby away from the anarchy and human turmoil taking place all around them. How and where they go, what they think, and what transpires there, indicates clearly the need of a new paradigm understanding of reality for humankind.
