What happens when a...city shuts down...a company folds... a generation is lost

It's New York City and the early days of the pandemic have upended everyone's life. But Thalia didn't have much of a life to upend—so she thought.
Meet Thalia: A travel agent who never travels, a young woman who moves from lover to lover, a person who keeps looking for signs, but finding her own apathy instead.
COVID changes all of that. As the city shuts down, she loses her job, her apartment and any ground towards adulthood she had haphazardly gained. Moving in with her grandmother, she begins to discover her next bold move.
Will she be able to break out of her arrested development? Will COVID transform or break her?
Read this short prequel to explore the genesis of Thalia's adventures as a digital nomad.
