It wasn't what anyone expected. It wasn't what the government preached or an EMP. It wasn't predicted by the one percent, or the religious zealots, or the nightly news. But as the chatter increased in the weeks leading up to July Fourth celebrations, the World Health Organization released a disturbing announcement that thrust the world into chaos and made only one prospect available. Survival. As America's worst nightmare becomes oh so real, and the world begins to collapse around them into a devastating apocalyptic wasteland, Nathan O'Connor, Len Cloud and Lara Halburg wrestle to come to grips with a death sentence virus, a government deception and the fact that their world may never be the same again. With an unknown future looming ahead of them and the answers they so desperately need flee from their grasp, survival becomes the word of the day. Len Cloud knows where they need to go. If they can just get there alive. From the psychotic scheme of a woman, who wanted only fame for herself and the deadly plot she chose to achieve it, the family and friends of Nathan O'Connor Jr. and Federal Agent Lara Halburg embark on a harrowing journey against time and the elements around them, including each other, to hang onto a world that they will never be able to save.
