Flower & Ash explores a dystopian America born of violent political differences. The post-apocalyptic story chronicles an epic journey of two 20-somethings—Flower and Ash—who find each other on the quest for a purpose beyond survival. Along the forgotten roads that lay between The Island (Manhattan) and Fishcamp (Gloucester, MA), the two develop deep bonds with unlikely friends (Steel, Sasha, and a few dozen outlandish characters). Facing danger from wayward tribes, the anarchic Confeds, and a primal landscape after “The Fall,” the journey calls on Flower and Ash to discover and embrace their authentic (super) powers.
