From the halls of D.C. to the remote shores of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, OFF GRID is a wild ride through a dystopian near future of mass surveillance.

A key tool is PivPal, an indispensable smartphone used to track citizens. As civil liberties crumble, resistance is relegated to flyover country whose residents—derided as off-gridders—cling to the time-honored virtues of freedom, self-reliance, and charity. Against this backdrop, Jenny Hernandez struggles to keep her rural church community nourished and safe. Hiding from the Feds, a team of inventors, and Jenny’s ex, arrive to complete the amazing plasma drive. They bring hope, but also the watchful eye of Big Brother. With the authorities closing in, local law enforcement must choose sides.

For the criminally insane, there are only a few type of days: they have their bad days, their worse days, and then they have the kind of day when they wake up covered in someone else’s congealed blood, with a bloody knife tucked under their pillow like a gift from the murder fairy.
Eight-year-old Jillybean was having that kind of day. To make matters worse, she couldn’t remember who she had killed or why? The previous night was a complete blank. A normal person might have embarked on an investigation to clear their name – the thought never occurred to Jillybean.
