"None of this is funny. That's why you should laugh."

Olathe is done. After Buddy Armstrong's rampage brought it to its knees, the last few scraps of civilization rotted and died. But Buddy herself is still around, with trumpet and child in tow. Her journey across the ruined land carries her to the very edge of the world and the secrets that lay there, where she will learn if there is anything about Olathe, or herself, that's still worth saving.
