For months, a sinister phenomenon has been unfolding beyond the borders of the United States, a looming terror whose origins remain shrouded in mystery. The global contagion, an enigmatic virus, has cast its relentless shadow over the entire world, yet Americans had, for a time, embraced a false sense of security under the reassurance of their government. Little did they know that this illusion would be shattered, as the virus breached their homeland, sweeping rapidly from the Eastern seaboard to the Western horizon. Caught in the throes of this cataclysmic upheaval are Aiden and Skylar, two hapless college students thrust together by the cruel hand of fate. Bound by circumstance, they face a harrowing choice: can two individuals, hitherto strangers, truly place their trust in one another amid the chaos that engulfs them? Will their nascent alliance withstand the relentless onslaught of this unforgiving scourge, or will they, too, succumb to the relentless ravages of an unrelenting nightmare? In this gripping tale of survival, the bonds of trust and the resilience of the human spirit are put to the ultimate test as Aiden and Skylar navigate the treacherous terrain of a world on the brink of collapse.
