Summary
Khristen is a teenager who was marked by greatness as a baby when she died for a moment and then came back to life. After Khristen's boarding school closes its doors, and she finds that her mother has gone, she ranges across the dead landscape and washes up at a resort on the shores of a putrid lake the elderly residents there call Big Girl. In a rotting honeycomb of rooms, these old ones plot actions to punish corporations and people they consider culpable in the destruction of the final scraps of nature's beauty. This is a tale of paradise lost and the reasons to try and recover something of it.
