Shayla Watkins, daughter of super rich Harold Watkins, owner of big time Watkins Fracking Co., lives a supposedly "average" high society life. Parties with millionaire friends and excessive amounts of gifts are some of the highlights of her "boring" world. She seems like she'll live the rest of her life riding on the wave of her father's success, never to do anything except smile, wave to fans, and simply exist. Then the world starts to crack. Texas and Oklahoma start to cave, followed by neighboring states. Soon the whole world is feeling the effects of the Cracking. And almost every person blames fracking. Shayla and her family are forced to run away from their collapsing, aristocratical lives and into the brutal new world forming and evolving every time the ground splinters. Will Shayla crack along with the world?
