The Last Ounce 2: The Dry Run
Paradise has a maintenance schedule. And Gary is the one on call.
Against all odds, feral dogs, and his own screaming lumbar spine, Gary Henderson actually made it. He has arrived at the Emerald Citadel, a solar-powered, hydroponic utopia hidden deep in the Cascade Mountains. Now serving as the heavily medicated "Director of Operations," Gary spends his days in zero-gravity massage chairs, soaking in geothermal hot springs, and sampling the legendary, pain-relieving Omega Strain. The apocalypse is finally starting to look like a vacation.
But the end of the world never really takes a day off.
When tectonic shifts threaten to freeze the natural hot springs, the Citadel's priceless crop faces imminent death. Forced to trade his Egyptian cotton robe for a winter parka, Gary must venture back into the freezing wasteland alongside Sheila, a lethal yoga instructor, and Cassidy, a foul-mouthed mechanic who can hotwire just about anything.
Their quest to save the heat will push Gary to his absolute limits. He'll have to survive terrifying avalanches, dangle over gorges on rusted ski lifts, strike a supply chain deal with a subterranean cult of coal miners, and defend his utopia against a violently sober militia driving an armored Killdozer.
To protect his perfect vibe, Gary must deploy the ultimate weapon: weaponized laziness.
The Last Ounce 2: The Dry Run continues the hilarious, hazy, and surprisingly heartwarming journey of a middle-aged suburbanite who just wants to sit down, but keeps accidentally becoming the savior of the wasteland.
