Six months ago Liberty Collins was advancing in her career at a prosperous marketing firm and dreaming of a bright future. Now the only thing darker than her nightmares is reality. In a socially, and economically, collapsed America, Liberty struggles to find the courage to endure, and the strength to protect herself. Her faith, constitution, and sanity are challenged as the lines that separate right from wrong grow increasingly blurry. Connor Dunstan was a thriving personal injury attorney with a comfortable life and a deeply-buried past. As the country crumbles and provisions dissipate, the survival of Connor and his unforgiving niece, Ashley, rests on his ability to trust someone other than himself.

With the help of retired Special Forces Commander, Connor Dunstan, and his spirited daughter, Ashley, the dauntless Liberty Collins has managed to survive the post-apocalyptic nightmare America has become. Now, the trio has joined forces with remnants of the United States Army. Their challenge is to aid and defend survivors dominated by a rogue military force called the Progression. As the Progression’s child soldiers ravage the countryside, the outcome threatens to be catastrophic for the diminished US forces. Faced with deception, treachery and insurmountable odds, Liberty and Connor forgo the security of the Army and charge into enemy territory. Will their newly-formed trust in each other survive the trials they must face to succeed? Or, will personal tragedy and their feelings for one another derail their objective?
