Oblivion Journey

Brad Garner thought he had lost everything, after the Yellowstone calderas exploded and the awful volcanic aftermath. After fleeing south and wallowing in self-pity, by random chance, he hears of a faint signal over a functioning network. It comes from far north, somewhere in Idaho on the Montana border, near the eruption's epicenter.

Soul sick, and with little remaining purpose to his life, Garner decides to follow the signal, an unmistakable if faint cry for help. He gears up and heads with an abandoned dog named Tanya into the ash-strewn wasteland that the U.S. West has become. Alone.
