March 2020 New York City is the epicenter of a global pandemic. All non-essential workers have been furloughed by a governmental mandate. Twenty-eight year old Emma Earl, a promising lingerie designer, has been deemed non-essential. Anyone and everyone who has the ability to leave and some place to go is leaving the city as fear of the potentially deadly corona virus escalates and spreads. Emma decides to head north to the Adirondack Mountains to quarantine with her family in her childhood home. But much has changed since Emma left this small mountain hamlet ten years ago. Some of the changes are in Emma. Living in the city has altered her world view as she has become more progressive over the years. Some of the changes are in the world she left behind. Emma has always been an outlier, even in her own family. But now the divide has become magnified as her father and some of his associates, who have always been conservative, are now fully enmeshed with the alt-right and white nationalists. Compulsory Stay-at-Home orders have been issued by the Center for Disease Control in an effort to reduce the spread of Covid-19. Across the country everyone is in lockdown. The public health authorities are saying we will be Safer-at-Home. But is this true? What about Emma?
