Gun violence may be out of control, but it’s nothing compared to the wrath of Mother Nature.
Jack just wants to raise kids without fear and give them a comfortable life, and the move from Chicago to Tokyo was meant to achieve that. But with 40 million neighbours, tensions at home, and a rising thermometer, expat life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
The first day of summer is city’s hottest on record, and the sweltering metropolis is only getting hotter. With hospitals overflowing and a power grid on the brink of collapse, he’ll do whatever it takes to get his family to safety.
