The book, composed of twelve stories, begins in the fall of 2008 with the shuttering of Dynamic Fabricating―a fictional industrial shop located in the Detroit suburb of Ferndale.

In "Would You Rather," a young couple brought together by Dynamic Fabricating shares a blissful weekend in Northern Michigan, unaware of the catastrophe that awaits them upon their return home.
