Nita, a young millennial in Chicago, decides to record interviews with her hook-ups as part of a sociologically-influenced art project. But when she falls in love with one of her subjects—a woman with an obscure past and a web of scars on her back—Nita finds herself drawn into a supernatural world from which she may never return.

In the near future, America has been seized by a totalitarian regime. While hiding out from fascist gangs, a young, queer, Jewish woman in Kansas City writes notes in an encyclopedia of imaginary places, hoping the book will live on to tell her story.
