After Americans endure years of drought, a scientific breakthrough promises the ability to live longer and healthier with a new water additive. The nation celebrates when the enhanced water is pumped into dozens of municipal water supplies nationwide. However, thousands die after drinking the "new" water, and a string of events follows that nearly destroys the country. In the aftermath, eleven-year-old Jake Reynolds and his family struggle to survive under difficult conditions that include martial law, weekly rations of food and water, and outbreaks of violence. His father died after drinking the tainted water, and his mother drank just enough to leave her chronically ill. While his older sister breaks martial law by sneaking out of the house to see her boyfriend, Jake finds solace in his friendship with Ben Harlow, an eccentric old man who lives next door. When Jake discovers that the poisoned water might not have been an accident but part of a sinister plot to control the water supply and take over the government, Jake and his family decide it's time to leave the United States and start a new life in Canada.
