Amidst the chaos, one man rules as Sovereign and corners the market on both technology and trade. To Lavarious Diamond, everything is for sale or trade. The only question is how much it's worth. When a mysterious woman comes to the Quarry and promises a huge payday, Diamond's tidy life is shaken up, and he finds himself uncharacteristically helping her.
