Journalist Rags Goldner is battle-scarred and heartbroken after covering a devastating pandemic that rages in Baltimore for five years. She leaves the city with her partner in search of a simpler life in small-town Maryland—only to discover nothing in Canary is simple.

A teenager is missing, and it falls to Rags to fight the forces of apathy, paranoia, and creeping fascism to learn the shocking truth about Effie Rutter's fate—and the fate of thousands like her.

The Potrero Complex is an enthralling tale of suspense and resilience, where Rags must confront the dark undercurrents of a seemingly serene community to unravel a chilling mystery.
