A mysterious new drug is tearing through America's heartland, lethal after just three doses, euphoric enough to make dying feel worth it. Dubbed poxe by the kids who crave it, the pill leaves bodies disfigured and minds addicted, with the government paralyzed in its wake. But when rumors of cannibalistic survivors start spreading, and entire corpses begin vanishing, a deeper horror takes root.
In a decaying Midwest town, college student Scott teeters between suicide and salvation, carrying one dose in his pocket and a thousand reasons to take it. As the death toll mounts, Scott and his friend Emalie try to uncover the truth about the drug, the disappearances, and a conspiracy that could rot the country from the inside out.
A searing portrait of despair, addiction, and institutional failure, The Poxe Theory is a dystopian horror epic, where political rot and personal anguish collide in a blood-soaked cautionary tale that feels all too real.
