In a world plunged into chaos after a mysterious event eradicates every male on the planet except for one man and his pet monkey, the story unfolds through the eyes of Yorick Brown. Struggling with his newfound survival, Yorick's journey is anything but straightforward as he navigates a society transformed overnight. This bizarre twist of fate forces him to confront not only his identity as the lone remaining male but also the societal upheaval that follows the catastrophic loss of men.

As Yorick travels through a landscape now predominantly occupied by women, he encounters an array of unique characters, each reflecting different societal perspectives. From military factions to feminist groups, the world around him is a complex tapestry of resilience and chaos, offering a rich exploration of gender, survival, and humanity's unyielding spirit.

The narrative delves into Yorick's relationships, revealing the emotional depth and conflicting feelings that arise in the face of loss and survival. Alongside his pet, Ampersand, he seeks answers about the event that spared him, hoping to unravel the mystery while learning to adapt to his new reality.

Vaughan's masterful storytelling, combined with evocative artwork, propels the reader into a gripping adventure filled with unexpected twists and philosophical moments. The series raises thought-provoking questions about identity, gender roles, and the essence of what it means to be human in an ever-evolving world.
