It started out well, with a catastrophe that caused a lot of scrambling, putting well-meaning people under great stress. Then the plot drifted into the cliched world of gangs, blackmail and extortion. The plot slows way down with overlong explorations into feelings; like a bad soap opera, people stop acting rationally to advance the plot; crazy coincidences and casual murder seem normal; there are plot holes everywhere; and by the end, I didn't care very much who lived or died. It's bad when the drug addict that started the whole mess is the most sympathetic character, and virtually everyone has betrayed others -- often more than once.
