Six hundred people have to move before the route closes. The short road is failing faster than the model says it should. The long road costs time and supplies the evacuation hasn't got. Sarah can tell them which way she'd go and exactly what would prove her wrong. What she can't do is make the uncertainty go away because they need an answer.
It's a book about the gap between a calculation and a decision people can live with.
