---------------------------------------

Jane and Dan have been married for nineteen years, but Jane isn't sure they're going to make it to twenty. She feels unneeded by her teenagers, her one published novel has sold under five hundred copies, and she's pretty sure Dan is cheating on her. Arriving at renowned restaurant La Fin du Monde to celebrate their anniversary, Jane thinks it's time to ask for a divorce.

But before they even get to the second course, a climate activist group bursts into the room. Jane is shocked - and not just because she's in a movie-style hostage situation. Nearly everything the disorganized activists say and do is right out of the pages of her failed book. Which means Jane and Dan are the only ones who know what's going to happen next. And they're the only ones who can stop it. If they can survive this, maybe they can survive anything - even marriage.
