Description
Three years ago, an inexplicable event known as the Sudden Departure wiped out 2% of the world's population, leaving behind bewildered survivors grappling with a profound sense of loss and unanswered questions. In the quiet suburban town of Mapleton, Police Chief Kevin Garvey finds himself at the epicenter of this new reality, attempting to maintain order amidst escalating fear and the rise of a mysterious, white-clad cult known as the Guilty Remnant. As his own family fractures under the strain of grief and radical belief systems, Kevin must confront the unraveling of his community and his own sanity. Tom Perrotta masterfully explores themes of faith, doubt, and the human need for meaning in the face of unimaginable tragedy, offering a poignant and unsettling portrait of life after the end of the world as we know it.
