Contemptuous of their parents, who pass their days in a stupor of liquor, drugs, and sex, the children feel neglected and suffocated at the same time. when a destructive storm descends on the summer estate, the group's ringleaders, including Eve, who narrates the story, decide to run away, leading the younger ones on a dangerous foray into the apocalyptic chaos outside. As the scenes of devastation begin to mimic events in the dog-eared picture Bible carried around by her beloved little brother, Eve dovotes herself to keeping him safe from harm"--Adapted from dust jacket.
