Frost lives at the apex of an abandoned apartment building with only her beloved pet, Romes, and Bunt, a robot housing her deceased father's consciousness. But when Romes becomes sick, Frost must traverse a vividly drawn post-apocalyptic wasteland of robots, zombielike Eaters, and anarchic mayhem to obtain medicine. The oddly self-aware heroine's journey ends with metaphors on the nature of being human.
