As the city of Galveston burns to the ground, Dan, Abby and Rhonda seek refuge in Houston, hoping to find transportation out of the surrounding devastation. But what they find in Houston defies all expectation. The insidious, bio-engineered virus has taken hold and instead of refuge, they find danger lurking within every shadow and every corner. Back in Wisconsin, Becca faces a dark secret from her past, which puts Dexter and Benny directly in the crosshairs. Will she get to them in time and even if she does, will any of them ever be the same? They promised a cure for cancer, but they delivered civilization's ultimate end. When the world's largest Pharmaceutical company inadvertently unleashes a deadly virus, it plunges society into darkness. Dan Porter must stare into that darkness and try to find the light. Separated from his family by thousands of miles, he must brave the treacherous landscape, doing whatever he can to live to see another day. Abby lives on the streets, a teenage girl, consumed by hatred for the company who doomed her father to death. Together, they must overcome the worst humanity has to offer, their lives hanging in the balance.
