The world didn't end with a bang, but with the persistent beep of a seatbelt and a dropped call.
Until the morning of October 12th, 17-year-old Alice's biggest concern was the boredom of algebra class and Lucas's delay in replying to her messages. But in just a few hours, the vibrant world of social media and hot coffee is replaced by a grey reality, silenced by dread and stained with blood.
Alone with her two younger siblings - young Anne and little Marcos - Alice must shed her innocence as fast as she learns to cock a .22 Winchester. The smell of toast in the kitchen gives way to the metallic scent of gunpowder and the acrid stench of decay now exhaling from the streets of Connecticut.
In a desperate escape aboard a stolen SUV, the group merges with familiar faces from the past: July, the cheerleader, and Kevin, the rebel who once taught her how to hotwire cars - a skill that is now worth more than any diploma. Together, they form a family forged by trauma, crossing an America that has become a real and permanent Halloween nightmare.
Between memories of sunny summers at Lake Waramaug and the visceral sound of tearing flesh, Alice discovers that surviving isn't just about keeping your heart beating, but deciding what you are willing to sacrifice to protect the ones you love.
How far would you go when silence becomes your only friend and hope becomes your most dangerous weapon?
