Rowan Pickett's world has gone to hell, her sister murdered in a high school shooting, her mother leaving, and Rowan sitting home and mourning. But then reality kicks in: Rowan realizes that she wants to survive, and in order to survive she needs a job. This leads her to Titus Longshaw, leader of the socialist organization Working Class Control. Titus points Rowan to a job at Package Nova, a global shipping firm on Chicago's south side.

As she battles to put her life in order Rowan acquires a powerful ally: Deeply, a parrot from another planet, sent to Earth on a mission. Because of Deeply she unwittingly attracts the interest of podcaster Jake Terranova, who is suspicious of the parrot's intelligence.

As Rowan reconnects with friends and finds new ones at Package Nova, her life improves. But then her sworn enemy Zeb Snoddy returns. One dark night he confronts Rowan and her best friend, Keisha Longshaw. In this gripping contribution to women-fight-back fiction, Snoddy is met with resistance he never expected, and working class struggle is brought to life in exciting ways.
