Summary
Maddie is rhythm guitarist of Bunny Bloodlust, a queer punk band living in a warehouse-turned-venue called “The Lab” in Houston<U+2019>s Eighth Ward. When Maddie learns that the Eighth Ward is to be sacrificed for a new electromagnetic hyperway out to the wealthy, white suburbs, she joins “Save the Eighth,” a Black-led organizing movement fighting for the neighborhood. When police respond to Save the Eighth protests with violence, the Lab becomes the epicenter of “The Free People<U+2019>s Village”<U+2014>an occupation that promises to be the birthplace of an anti-capitalist revolution. But the Village is beset on all sides<U+2014>by infighting, police brutality, corporate-owned media, and rising ecofascism
