In contemporary East London's underground queer scene, Kay parties with her friends while imagining herself visited by time travelers. And years in the future, Ess--part of a collective preparing for the end of human life on earth--prepares to make a journey into the past to possibly help save the present.Roisin Dunnett's brilliant debut A Line You Have Traced asks what we owe to those who will come after us, and what it might cost us.
