Cases of a highly lethal virus appear in major cities around the globe—most ignore the warning signs

Alex Fletcher, Iraq War veteran, has read these signs for years. With his family and home prepared to endure an extended period of seclusion, Alex thinks he's ready for the pandemic. He's not even close.

The unstoppable H16N1 virus rapidly spreads across the United States, stretching the fragile bonds of society to the breaking point. Schools close, grocery stores empty, fuel deliveries stop, hospitals start turning away the sick...riots engulf the cities. As hostility and mistrust engulfs his idyllic Maine neighborhood, Alex quickly realizes that the H16N1 virus will be the least of his problems.

An Impossible Journey

In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, the Fletchers, along with their closest friends, are forced to separate—each group setting off on a harrowing journey.

Alex Fletcher heads to Boston, on a rescue mission to find his son and friend's daughter—both trapped at college during the 'event'. What he finds along the way will shake him to the core and alter his life forever.

Kate Fletcher leads her group to the perceived refuge of their rural summer home, unaware that a chance, violent encounter on the road will inadvertently jeopardize the future safety of everyone and everything she holds dear.

In a world gone mad—they'll rely on each other to survive.
