Tomorrowscape stories are postcards from our future. End Z.O.N.E. serves as the writing on the (invisible) wall about where we're heading as a society. Four college friends create the invention of a lifetime, which leads to a lifetime of pain, survival, war, and love. Endeavoring to be the Neil Armstrong of time travel, Bronson Peek, ex-quarterback, volunteers to test their time-travel device as he and college pal, Marty Liberman, an engineering major, take a leap of faith to steal a glimpse of the future. They discover both a utopian paradise and dystopian wasteland where the divide between the rich and poor has culminated into a nightmarish reality. As the poor scavenge for food and die of malnutrition and lack of medical care, the obscenely wealthy, entitled and unsympathetic, have retreated to luxurious technological metropolises. Protected behind invisible barriers, these menacing municipalities known as Z.O.N.E.s are the ultimate gated communities. A calculation error keeps Bronson from returning to his time and to his true love, Mitzy Reynolds. Emotionally crushed by the turn of events, and at the same time appalled by the lack of humanity in this melancholic future, he cannot stand idly by. Back in the present, Mitzy, a petite redheaded math geek, is also suffering from a broken heart and will risk everything to go after him. But will she find him...in time?
