A low-tech sci-fi story set in a disenfranchised, near-future post-Crash urban sprawl, a violent place with no one in authority. We meet the Switchcocks, an all-girl revenge gang who make their living by taking on vengeance contracts for other Glop residents, and running drugs. One night, Lexi, gang member by night, courier by day, hooks the gang up with the dangerously potent drug called ‘shift.’ They sample it and then they run amok, taking ‘vengeance’ on an Enclave drone – without a contract: for fun. Lexi awakens the following day and must deal with the aftermath and her own role in the gang’s actions.
