Climate change has ravaged the world, and the foul air of the crowded city is slowly killing Bea's little daughter, Agnes. Their one escape is the Wilderness State, a huge tract of land where no one has been allowed to settle. Mother and child join a small band permitted to roam it, hunting and gathering under rules laid down by distant rangers. Step by step they learn to stay alive in country that is unpredictable and often deadly. Agnes thrives on this untamed life, and Bea begins to see that saving the girl may mean losing her in another way.
