Description
Set in the eerie days of civilization's collapse, this spellbinding story follows a Hollywood star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors as they risk everything for art and humanity.
Twenty years after a devastating flu pandemic brought an end to the world as we knew it, a small troupe of actors and musicians, known as The Traveling Symphony, continue to keep the remnants of art and humanity alive. Their journey takes a dramatic turn when they arrive in a new settlement, where they encounter a violent prophet who threatens their very existence.
The story unfolds, moving back and forth in time, vividly depicting life before and after the pandemic, and revealing the strange twist of fate that connects them all.
