Shusterman wrote Dry with his son Jarrod. “People might do whatever they can to survive, but once they don’t have to worry about that, they’re different.” When the Tap Out hits, eccentric Jacqui joins the trio, making for a haphazard group on a road trip hunt for water.Īs threads of civilized society begin to fray and stores of bottled water run out, could altruism and ingenuity be the keys to survival? The government has toned down the truth about how dire the water supply is, calling it, “The Tap Out.” Soon after, the faucets are dry and the countdown to survive begins.Īlyssa and her 10-year-old brother, Garrett, team up with neighbor Kelton, whose family has prepared for doomsday. Neal and Jarrod Shusterman bring us that what-if disaster in the form of an extended drought in Southern California. There is something oddly reassuring about experiencing a disaster that is not the one you are living.
