Prolouge:
On April 18th 2135 disaster struck. an earthquake that reached a level 11.3 on the richter scale hit the u.s. People all over the world were in shock. The damage that was left was a bottomless crack that was 13 feet across. the crack went from new york to texas. but thats not even the worst part, on top of that, a gas came out of the crack that when mixed with the oxygen in the air, created a nearly microscopic worm that attaches itself to the back of your neck and basicly sucks the life out of you.
Over the course of about six months the worm makes you sicker and sicker untill eventuly you die. after you parish, the worm takes over your brain and brings you back to life. sounds good, right. well, no, when you come back your not yourself, you look like your old self, but your not. These people, who are brought back are called the broken. Nobody is sure about where the name came from, but it does perfectly describe them. a broken version of themselves. they have no controll of what they do, they are pure evil. Think about every harmful thought youve ever had. now imagine doing every one of those things. imagine 3/4 of the u.s population doing that. basicly hell right?
The u.s is devided into two peices the west and east of the crack. If you live on the east, you are living in an abandoned house or on the street, with nothing. No electricity, no tap water, no anything. If you live the west, you are living just like before the plague. You have modern technology and a normal life. there is absolutely no contact between the west and the east. For some reason when the gas came out of the crack and the worms were born they only went east, nobody knows why though.
Lyric is a 17 year old girl who lives in southern ohio. aka the east. She has been the head of the family since her father cought the plauge and her mother had to shoot him in the head, while lyric and her brother watched. that was a a year after the plauge and now, six years later in the year 2142, her mother has still not recovered emotionaly. She is in a horrible depression and can barely preform everyday tasks like making dinner.
So now, Lyric is left to care for her 7 year old brother, Austin, her mother, and herself.
Nick is an 18 year old boy, whos home is in the west but seven years ago when the earthaquake hit he was in ohio with his 12 year old sister, destiny,visiting friends. Since then he and his sister have been on their own trying to survive.
So, what will happen when the two of them cross paths, while trying to rob a grocery store. Well ill give you a hint, it involves love, hate, heartache, action, and a lot of drama.
