Three brothers. One Great Depression. One dreadful yet righteous war. Their lives shifted from a rural northern Minnesota upbringing to going their separate ways: to California, the skies over Germany, and the jungles of Leyte. Back home, their widowed mother had yet to recover from the loss of the family farm to the Tax Man. Her boys gone, dependent on their income, and haunted by premonitions, she faced the torment of incessant worries.

When the supernova explodes, most flee, but numerous citizens, including the UU Gang, stay to acquire as much abandoned loot as possible, cheating death and the rule of law. When UU realizes they will be imprisoned if they return to civilization, he develops a plan: his gang must help what remains of law enforcement in the quadrant. The plan might work, but it has a fatal flaw: law enforcement does not trust him, and other gangs hate him more than ever. To get out alive, UU and his gang must outsmart, outmaneuver, and out-kill their enemies. And their enemies are everyone in the Nova Quadrant.
