Scott and Emily (from The Goats Knew) get together about a year after their battle with the Djieien. They become entangled in another paranormal mystery in the town of Palmyra. This time, young people are being brutally murdered, their bodies torn apart and left in the open for all to see. Follow the kids as they work behind the scenes to solve the mystery the authorities don't, or won't see. Has their battle with a beast from ancient mythology armed them to face this new terror?

A necklace, a pair of shoes, a ribbon and a robot dog. It has been hundreds of years since the Rot was released. Only those that remain on this frigid and poisoned earth are the unlucky ones, and the number of survivors is dwindling. Sania Teik and a handful of the 5th generation live within deep underground settlements in order to hide from the Rot's decaying touch. They are the precious youth, protected and sheltered at all cost. However, the lifelights are extinguishing one by one, and sooner or later it will be their turn. At the edge of the world, their settlement is to be the last to fall. It is a waiting game with no one as the foreseeable winner, that is until an inexplicable hope presents itself in the form of a signal originating from the most uninhabitable part of the earth - the surface. The settlement's lifelight is flickering, and the waiting game is over. Now, it is a game against time, with the future as the prize.
