A West Texan couple develops a complete town in the desert borderlands unlike any built in a century, but must weather the meltdown of the housing industry, rising border violence, record drought, and an unspoken secret related to the loss of their son which has been distancing them for years.
Within sight of the Bowman's town across the Rio Grande border in Mexico, a new city with a factory at its heart rises which offers security and a higher quality of life for its workers, but also a private fiefdom for its owners. Leo Dana, the architect of the two new settlements on the high desert, travels the shrinking divide between them.
