A late autumn outbreak of flu becomes so much more. Laura and Danny are threatened by the flu. But that threat is equaled by the threat from their own government and the Army sent to deal with the situation. Disaster also brings another threat. Those that thrive on chaos. Those that will take every opportunity to thrive at the expense of anyone that might have what they want. Laura and Danny must learn and learn fast. Learn who to avoid. Learn where to be and where not to be. They must learn how to survive where most so far have failed.
