Manila is sealed off after a deadly virus leaves the city in ruins. The survivors live behind steel-reinforced cobblestone walls, confined within the remnants of the historic Intramuros, clinging to rules that promise safety. Miles Reyes joins the containment zone's security force to survive-nothing more. Luke, a zone commander, is determined to keep the fragile order intact, even when it costs him. During patrols and missions beyond the walls, necessity turns into trust, and trust becomes something far more dangerous in a place where attachment is a liability. When signs emerge that the truth about the infection may be buried along with the dead, Miles and Luke must choose between protecting the lie that keeps them alive or risking everything to uncover what's been hidden. In a world built on containment, love may be the most dangerous breach of all. _________________ Language: English Setting: Philippines (Post-apocalyptic Era) Started: December 25, 2025 Ended:
