The story is set in a future where much of the western U.S. is desolate with the remains cities composed of the steel of buildings that haven’t yet collapsed. The protagonist is a scavenger hoping to find something in the nearest city valuable enough to pay her way to the east, where life was easier. Some fantasy.
