Three years after his patent was licensed by the government, Joshua has run out of money. Five years ago, a supposed "Pandemic Apocalypse" had begun and virtual technologies had become a staple of every household with government mandated internet and endless renewals of "shelter in place" orders. Tech giants and 3D printing companies are making money hand over fist taking over many manual labor industries.

Public transportation and shipping systems has all been replaced with remote driven tube-cars and high speed trains. Owning an automobile is illegal and airlines are under martial law.

How will Joshua's pre-millennial style family survive in this new world of drone deliveries?
