The story begins when the young teen who suffers a head injury emerges from a sailboat that ran aground during a hurricane.

Gradually, her expectation that people will return to the community they evacuated is replaced with the startling truth that everyone is gone. Vanished from the face of the earth. Hindered by a selective memory that affords only brief glimpses of her past, Ivy and her new friend Tonka - a West Highland White Terrier - set off on a quest to find other people. She soon discovers that surviving a post-apocalyptic world isn't the adventure books and movies make it out to be.
