the United States falling into its second civil war. When the Whites and Grays, so named after the two leaders who are vying for power, erupt into conflict, democracy crumbles. Conspiracies fly on who started the conflict, including one suggesting a deep operative called "The Core" infected the country from within. Two thirds of the population have died or fled. Meanwhile in quiet Watertown South Dakota, Sara Weiderholt is a middle-aged Mother trying to keep normalcy amidst chaos within her broken home. So far from the fighting, townsfolks, avid Gray supporters, pretend nothing is amiss even though medicine is scarce, schools have closed, technology is useless, and the draft is reinstated. Sara even tries her hand at a little adultery to find happiness. Then her seventeen year old son dies fighting in the south. The years of abuse at the hands of her husband, being orphaned at sixteen, and other hidden horrors she has tucked deep inside, surface. Her youngest child is drafted. Sara cracks. She kidnaps her two daughters and flees South Dakota to her home town of Paradise in northern Michigan. While in hiding, they befriend several townies Sara doesn't recognize from childhood. People seem to disappear as quickly as they arrive in Paradise. This doesn't go unnoticed for long as Gray soldiers storm the town looking for defectors. Their only chance for permanent safety is to flee to Canada by walking the straits of Lake Superior when frozen in late winter. But with her husband tracking them and bounty hunters looking to make money off of AWOL soldiers, will they live to see the lake freeze? The Split explores who Americans becomes when America is no more.
