About the Story
In the wake of her sister Ivy’s widely publicized suicide attempt, Ursula Van Urden arrives in the metropolis of Middle City with hopes of starting her own life anew. In an attempt to understand the events leading up to her sister’s breakdown, Ursula meets Ivy’s mysterious boyfriend, Chas Lacouture, and joins his trendspotting firm, Tomorrow, Ltd. Armed with only a sketch pad and the mandate to “find the future,” she begins an odyssey into the strangely intoxicating world of trendspotting where one lesson prevails: At the heart of every product lies a paradox, and when cultivated successfully, it yields untold riches. As Ivy’s delusions grow stronger and more apocalyptic, Ursula’s observations of a filthy, rodent-eating homeless girl — an urban savage — lead to an elaborate advertising scheme gone awry that has unexpected consequences.
