Fallout Horizon

In the near future, the Horizon Nuclear Complex—an ambitious coastal power plant built to revive a struggling region—promises cheap, near-limitless energy. But Horizon sits on the edge of a city still healing from climate change, social fracture, and political distrust. When an inexplicable cascade of failures begins during a storm, a disparate group of people—Mira Anand, a plant engineer with a conscience; Jonas Hale, a by-the-book operations chief; Lela Moreno, an activist-turned-journalist; Major Amir Qureshi, a military liaison; and a fractured family trapped downriver—find their lives intertwined by the same invisible enemy: radiation, fear, and the consequences of choices made in the name of power. As the plant spirals toward catastrophe, secrets unspool—cut corners, quiet corporate deals, and the human cost of energy. The fallout spreads not only across the land but into communities, institutions, and private lives. Survival will demand sacrifice, but the real question is what kind of future is worth saving.
