When the sky died, the world followed. Decades after The Downfall - when the government's secret experiment known only as S.T.A.R.S. turned on its creators and wiped humanity off the map - the survivors walk through what's left: a silent, twisted Earth haunted by Nests that feed on memory, emotion, and guilt. Robin Samuels leads a group of survivors - each bound by the things they can't forget - through a dead world that seems to remember them back. Their only chance lies in reaching the rumored safe zone, The Lull. But every mile closer drags them deeper into the world's madness... and into each other's secrets. As Nests warp their minds and reshape reality, Robin and Caine - the quiet soldier who's forgotten how to hope - find themselves caught between survival and the slow-burn ache of something more human. Something dangerous. But in a world where every memory can be weaponized, love might be the final extinction event.
