In the final days of human civilization, a middle-aged schoolteacher named Benny struggles to stage the world's last play. Serving as the head of humanity's last bastion of academia behind the walls of a territory erected during an apocalypse hundreds of years ago, Benny's efforts to bridge the generational gap of an infertile, illiterate populace prove futile as his students grow into adults and look for the first time to new horizons. Now facing both the end of his bloodline and the inevitable estrangement of his wife, Starla, Benny endeavors to find meaning in a life that may leave no trace.

But just as it seems he may be destined to live out his dying days in vain, the clouds above the territory part for the first time in centuries, releasing a howling meteorite of supernatural proportions. As the anomaly crashes into the land beyond the wall, Benny finds himself in possession of a paranormal power that may allow him to reverse his fortune and that of his University. But as he strains to wield this new power, Benny steers his family toward an uncertain frontier, where they endure the ghosts of his past, the wrath of an unstable government, and the second coming of none other than poet laureate Walt Whitman himself.

Part ghost story, part cautionary tale, Holocene is the telling of the end of our world... and the beginning of another.
