Set in the Gulf Coast in a gritty, harsh future, Ship Breaker depicts a not-rosy-at-all future. Nailer is part of a scavange team whose job it is to take apart and salvage valuable resources in the hulking wrecks of ships that have sunk and now washed up on shore. His team belongs to Bapi, who has tattooed his sign on the cheeks of all of his workers. Nailer thinks he might stay small enough to scrounge through the duct-work tunnels of the old wrecks for one more year. What he does after that is uncertain, dark, and scary. But he doesn't give a second thought to the future, because just getting through each day is exhausting enough. When a storm washes a different kind of a wreck ashore, and he and his friend Pima find it. Will it be the thing that changes both of their lives?
