Welcome to the Grid, a perfectly efficient world where every citizen has a manual and every minute is accounted for. Cooper Abbot is a loyal company man who does everything by the book, but when his house suddenly begins filling with water, he goes from being exemplary to being an anomaly. With the unlikely help of his childhood pet, a fish named Stuart, Cooper discovers the Grid may be hiding something beneath its spotless surface.
Welcome to the Grid, a tidy gray world that runs on schedules, manuals, and the comforting hum of corporate efficiency. Cooper Abbott is the kind of person the Grid likes best: a loyal company man who does everything by the book beneath the all-seeing eye of the Neighborhood Watch. But when Cooper’s house suddenly begins filling with water without any explanation, he goes from being exemplary to being an anomaly. The flood reconnects Cooper with Stuart, a fish he knew as a child who might also be the key to everything that’s happening. As reality begins to ripple and the Grid starts closing in on him, Cooper faces an impossible choice: continue to dutifully serve the system or finally swim against the current and discover what life might look like outside the manual.
