After a few years living in cities, Ethan Thomas returns to his rural Nebraska hometown and takes a reporting job at the community newspaper. He stumbles upon a big story when an out-of-state oil company pumps enough fracking wastewater into the ground to induce earthquakes. As Ethan learns to write he reconnects with a young woman from his childhood. This is a story about the complicated relationship we have with the places we know best, the pull of the outside world, and finding something to love.

The novel follows Carrick Williams as he leaves his small, Nebraska town to make an attempt at college. The book is a lot about him, about his mind and his struggle, but it's also very much about the Midwest, its beauty, the difficulties it poses for an ambitious youth, and how much where you grow up can shape you.
