"Reeling from nearly total economic, political, and moral collapse, the United States some twenty years from now is a shadow of its former self. But 85 percent of the population doesn't care: they're addicted to flashback, a drug that allows its users to reexperience the best moments of their lives. After former detective Nick Bolton's wife died in a car accident, he began going under the flash to be with her; now an addict, he's lost his job, he's estranged from his teenage son, and he makes his home in an overcrowded space carved out of an abandoned shopping mall."
