520    For ten years, Yona has been stuck behind a desk as a 
       coordinator for Jungle, a travel company specializing in 
       vacation packages to destinations devastated by disaster 
       and climate change. Her work life is uneventful until 
       trouble arises in the form of a predatory colleague. To 
       forestall any disruption of business-as-usual, Jungle

       realizes that the lives of Mui's citizens are in danger--
       and so is she
