Exit Party

2031, America is at war with itself. Then, for the first time in weeks, hope breaks through: the Republic of California is declared, the Los Angeles curfew is lifted, and the city floods the streets to celebrate.

Ari, newly released from prison, arrives with her friend Gloria as a fragile new era seems to dawn. But there are people at the party who shouldn’t be there. Something is terribly wrong.

Years later, living another life in Paris, Ari remains haunted by that night. Whatever happened fractured her sense of reality—and may hold the key to a very different world.
