High school sweethearts, Mia Clementine planned to leave her hard-core evangelical home for Sarah Lawrence College, and Alfie Thanasis would have a new place to pursue baseball, poetry, and Mia. Then he was offered a scholarship to the University of San Francisco the same week the town found out about Mia's mom's affair with their church's pastor. Now Mia is crashing at her best friend's dorm at San Francisco State. At a chance meeting their reunion is cut short when a massive earthquake rakes the city, leaving them searching across the rubble for the ex they still love -- before the city crumbles.
