Description

An instant USA Today bestseller by New York Times bestselling novelist Jason Pargin, this standalone darkly comic thriller captures the pulse of modern America’s mounting anxieties.

Outside Los Angeles, a driver stumbles upon a young woman perched atop a massive black box. She offers him $200,000 in cash—on one condition: he helps transport her and the mysterious box cross-country to Washington, D.C.

The catch? There are strict rules he must follow. He’s forbidden to look inside the box, prohibited from asking questions, can’t share details with anyone, must depart immediately, and must leave all traceable technology behind.

As this odd pair embarks on their bizarre road trip, wild theories erupt across social media: Could the box be part of a secret terrorist plot meant to push the nation toward civil war?

Yet the real truth is far stranger—and just might forever alter your perception of reality itself.
