A choice that will seal their fate. 1665 - In the quiet Derbyshire village of Eyam, the rhythms of life unfold as they always have—until a bolt of cloth arrives from London.

His friends and family lie fevered, the woman he loves is out of reach, and his once-trusted faith is crumbling beneath the weight of loss. But as panic spreads and the village edges toward flight, the Rector proposes the a voluntary quarantine, sealing Eyam’s fate—and its people—inside. Trapped within the dying village, Adam must navigate not only the disease but the superstition, fear, and fraying bonds of faith that threaten to consume them all. As the weeks pass and the graves multiply, desperation takes hold. Survival battles with duty. Hope flickers—then fades. And as Adam makes his final stand, one question When the plague comes for you—will you run, or will you stay?
