When a silent, profit-driven apocalypse begins, the last summit on earth isn't at the UN, it's in a cigar factory. Five women who have spent their lives fighting over how to run the world are locked in a room with one mission: save it. They must negotiate a single, actionable plan to stop the collapse, using only their wits, their grudges, and a case of very fine tobacco.
