Sophie has been with the Community for nearly a decade, a pastoral existence where brotherhood and faith are stronger than blood and bone. After a series of deaths, Sophie considers the potential of her own. When Sophie is stricken with illness amidst England's green and pleasant lands, she weighs up her options: her life or that of the others? In a community where the "we" prevails over the "I", sacrifices for the greater good are not to be taken lightly. A psychological thriller set in an off-the-grid English commune, NEW GODS follows one woman's escape and asks at what cost comes self-interest in a corrupted utopia.
