Summary
Set in a modern, militarizing New Orleans, the story follows students, artists, service workers, and strays as they orbit one another—through organizing meetings and art collectives, addiction and recovery, protest and police lines. Some of them believe in the law. Some believe in nothing at all. All of them are trying to stay alive long enough to matter.
A realistic look at political organizing with themes of anti-colonialism, found family, queerness, and addiction / recovery

Summary
Nearing the end of Law School, Enjolras is bent on confronting the French colonialism from which his family profited. Caught between his own identity as an immigrant and yet and inheritor of the French colonial germ, he rallies his closest friends to start a francophone social justice group to begin confronting this legacy.
Across the city, Grantaire runs in very different circles, making it from pay-check to pay-check and struggling with the fallout of addiction in his own life and amongst those he loves most.
When chance brings these two worlds crashing together, it is doomed to end in blood, but perhaps not before meaning can be found in the messy tangle of it all.
-
Slice of life, dealing with themes of decolonialism, addiction, mental health, class structures, and other heavy themes.

« There were corpses here and there and pools of blood. I remember seeing a butterfly flutter up and down that street. Summer does not abdicate. »
