520    Seventeen-year-old Nat and her hacker brother Sam have 
       come to Hawaii for their parents' Final Week.  Global 
       warming has devastated the planet, and the disintegrating 
       society that remains is run by "corporates" who keep the 
       population complacent through a constant diet of "pharma."
       The few Americans who still live well also live long -- so
       long that older adults, like Nat's parents, bow out not by
       natural means but by buying death contracts. While Nat 
       grapples with the bizarre ritual of her parents' slickly

       wilder Hawaii hidden beneath the high-gloss corporate 
       veneer.  Their family's Final Week races toward its climax

       forging her own surprising path to hope
