Three hundred years ago, something terrifying arose and pushed humanity to the brink of extinction. Now, a small remnant - the descendants of the survivors who escaped the massacre below - lives above the clouds, on the top of a mountain. When they discover that their water supply is being poisoned Down Below, an expedition, including 17-year-old girl Icelyn Brathius, must descend and face the monsters, the Threat Below, that wiped out civilization centuries ago.

Conrad O'Connor has created a careful regimen to guarantee his social status and not make any waves at his small town high school. However, when an old friend calls him out to the bridge one night, Conrad's routine is forever shaken. As his friend's decision ripples through their community, it becomes the catalyst for a deadly new trend. The Crowd and the Merrimack is a humorously dark take on your typical young adult or coming of age story. It's a callback to those harsher times we experience, simply wading through the complexities of certain social spheres. For Conrad it is the formative and cruel microcosm that is high school, senior year, and what's beyond it is entirely a mystery.
