Britain is rotting. Sloth has taken over the land. Natali and her wife, Lana, must raise their heart rates every three hours or the Sloth virus will slow their hearts to nothing. But Natali faces more than Sloth. She faces the depression her wife is consumed by, the loss of their child, and soon they must face a new presence on Britain’s decaying roads. There are voices that yell through the silent night and gunfire that echoes from the skeletons of a society in ruins. Content Warning: scenes of suicide and child death.
