On the same night that renowned actor, Arthur Leander, dies of a heart attack on stage while performing as King Lear, a worldwide pandemic finally reaches Toronto. Before the pandemic ends, it will have claimed half the world’s population.
Twenty years later, known as Year Twenty to those who are still keeping track of time, the world is divided into settlements. A nomadic group called the Traveling Symphony, led by a woman named Kirsten who is just old enough to remember the “before time”, wanders around performing Shakespeare and playing music. When the Symphony arrives at the settlement of St. Deborah by the Water where, two years prior, they had left their friends Charlie and Jeremy with their newborn baby, they find that their friends are no longer there. Instead, a despotic “prophet” is now in charge, ruling with fear and violence.
As the timeline moves back and forth between fourteen years prior to the pandemic, the onset of the pandemic, and Year Twenty, we begin to see the ties that bind Arthur, Kirsten, and The Prophet and the strange twist of fate that brings them all together.
