In late August, Jane Pearson is camping in the California woods with her husband Leo and their five-year-old son Benjamin. As she drifts off to sleep in a hammock, every man in the world suddenly vanishes—disappearing from surgeries, cars, and daily life. In an instant, Leo and Benjamin are gone, leaving Jane to navigate a transformed reality. Struggling with profound grief, she must adapt to a world where women are forced to forge new lives. As communities come together to rebuild and manage dwindling resources, Jane seeks to reconnect with her old college friend, Evangelyne Moreau, who leads the Commensalist Party of America, a burgeoning political movement in this new landscape. Meanwhile, mysterious video footage titled "The Men" surfaces online, depicting the vanished men in surreal, desolate settings. Is it a hoax, or does it contain clues about their disappearance? This gripping and thought-provoking narrative explores themes of feminist utopias, sacrifice, and the tension between personal desires and communal well-being, challenging the notion of a perfect society.
