Description

Los Angeles has been quarantined, and the world is no longer as it was. After a well-orchestrated bio-terrorist attack leaves humanity at the edge of extinction, Marty and Lucas are now on their own, and their escape is not without risk as every step holds the potential for catastrophe. Traveled by night is difficult, as the specters of the abundant dead seem to peek out from every window and door way.

At some point, even the government abandons its effort to help those left behind. Now, the goal for Marty and Lucas becomes twofold; to escape without being seen by other survivors and to avoid becoming infected. But on their way, they meet Julie, a beautiful, spitfire brunette living in Corpus Christi. The trio quickly becomes a well working group, with a single common goal.

But tragedy is determined to leave its mark as catastrophe catches up to them, threatening not only their survival but the bond they share with each other. The tension between Marty and Julie grows into a fiery relationship, driven by both sexual attraction and a mutual need to survive. Yet, tragedy is still at their heels, destroying everything they care about.
