Everyone&’s lives have become an endless list of don&’ts: don&’t water the lawn, don&’t fill up your pool, don&’t take long showers. Until the taps run dry. Suddenly, Alyssa&’s quiet suburban street spirals into a warzone of desperation; neighbors and families turned against each other on the hunt for water.
