On a random Wednesday, over half of the male population across the planet disappears. No warning. No rapture. Simply gone without a trace. The events that unfold over the following three months are told through the eyes of five different women across the world. In Los Angeles, a cop is forced to reexamine a moment from her past she’s spent years pretending never happened. In Indiana, a mother and daughter are finally free to breathe in their own home. A prisoner in Herat, Afghanistan discovers new opportunities in a world where power has shifted overnight. At Cambridge, a grieving student mourns the loss of her loving boyfriend, while wondering what his absence could mean. And in Chicago, a hacktivist with a brother in prison for sexual assault stumbles onto a shocking connection between the disappeared men and his case. As these women rebuild their lives, the mystery of the vanished men raises provoking questions about justice, survival, and the choices needed to shape a better world.
