Clean Slate

by Rachel Leighson

Two years after a world-wide nuclear war, four souls collide on the road to recovery. Mac is a professor, Cam is a chef, Lez is an actor, and Tal is a scientist. For what any of that means when it all disappears. With jobs to do, pasts to wrestle, ghosts to settle, and a future to secure, the question becomes: if you can't look back, how do you move forward?
