In order to help his wayward girlfriend, Sylvia Darling, college student Jack Rivers must journey to mysterious Universe Island.
Sylvia's flighty, recently divorced mother, Jean, escapes to this remote isle, with her daughter in tow, desperately believing she will find her true community there. Upon his arrival, Jack is set to search the island, which is divided into twelve states, each one based on a zodiac sign. Strangely enough, the citizens of Universe Island are categorized into these communities based solely on the signs under which they were born.
Each state has its own unique culture. Those who reside in Aquarius reinvent the drug and hippy culture, and those in Scorpio believe their actions are controlled by aliens. The members of Capricorn live as reclusive hunter-gatherers, while the citizens of Sagittarius relive the romantic days of princesses and chivalrous knights. The twelve states are codependent on one another, but each state considers itself the most superior faction.
As Jack embarks on a wild journey to reunite with Sylvia, he finds himself paired with two extremely different traveling companions: an ex–Navy Seal and a reverend. Along the way, they encounter extraordinary characters, an earthquake, and a scarring war between the states.
Join Jack on this satirical expedition through the Zodiac States, as he witnesses firsthand the different perspectives of unusual societies.
