When his father is murdered, Benji finds safety and acceptance with the remaining members of the Acheson LGBTQ+ Center (ALC), including Nick, a white, neurodiverse teen who helps him to process and harness his fury against the cult and its leaders. Benji, a white, transgender teen, was raised within the group but is now on the run after they subjected him to emotional and physical abuse and infected him with a strain of The Flood designed to slowly and painfully transform his body into that of a Seraph-a grotesque approximation of an angel meant to finish the cleansing. After The Angels, an ecoterrorist group, released “The Flood” upon humanity in a bid to cleanse the Earth of nonbelievers, the world was left ravaged and overrun by the slavering remains of the population now hideously warped by viral load. Gr 10 Up–A queer teen brings the full weight of trauma and rage to bear upon the fundamentalist cult that abused him in this gruesome, emotional debut.
