"Scroll No More...?"

For thirty-six years, Vicky had been running from the ghost of a cold, rainy November day when she was thirteen. That was the day Duke’s bozo nightmare of a stepfather, alongside their hired babysitter, forcefully ripped thirteen-and-a-half-year-old Duke away from her. They were pulled apart, scattered to the winds. But Duke had never forgotten her. Driven by a pure, unyielding devotion, Duke had remained a virgin all these years, saving himself entirely for the day he would finally hold Vicky in his arms again.

Now, at forty-nine and a half, Duke was a mountain of a man—a big, rugged 18-wheeler coast-to-coast truck driver. At this exact moment, he was parked under a dark highway overpass, his massive rig idling as he desperately stared at his cracked screen, trying to trace her location.

Unbeknownst to them, the digital grid was fracturing globally. One minute, billions of people were texting, scrolling, swiping, posting, ordering, navigating, and checking the time. The next, every smartphone in the world was completely useless.

As the screens went pitch black, a desperate, cross-country action adventure was triggered among Duke’s lifelong brotherhood—his four best friends, who were each stranded in different corners of the world, staring at their dead devices:

"Did Pablo Say: the blue-eyed Mexican and the exact same age as Duke, was sitting on a massive, jagged rock by the roaring ocean, watching his signal bars vanish into nothingness.

"Did Jim Say: the oldest of the group and a proud Native American, stood deep in the wilderness, realizing his digital lifeline to his brothers had just snapped.

Did Darrick Say: the youngest cowboy of the group, was leaning heavily against fresh bales of hay, frustratedly tapping a phone that would never turn back on.

"Did Calvin Say: with his signature spiked hair and goatee, sat on his leather sofa, realizing the emergency network he used to track Duke’s truck had gone entirely dark.

Vicky’s phone screen flashed a final, terrifying warning: "No Connection." The global smartphone blackout had locked them all out. The digital world had died, but their human resolve had just awakened.
