At Crestwood Secondary, life is painfully ordinary-until the morning the sirens stop.
Sixteen-year-old Lena Park, a quiet but sharp‑minded student, thinks it's just another drill. But when a teacher collapses in the hallway and rises again with blood‑red eyes and a violent hunger, the school descends into panic.
Trapped inside with no way to contact the outside world, Lena and her childhood friend Kai Min, along with a mismatched group of classmates, must navigate the crumbling building as a mysterious infection spreads at terrifying speed.
Among them is Jace Ryu, the rebellious loner with a past he refuses to talk about; Mira Han, the class president who refuses to let fear break her; and Theo Jin, a tech‑obsessed freshman who knows more about the outbreak than he should.
As the infected multiply and the survivors turn on each other, the group discovers that the virus didn't start by accident and someone inside Crestwood might be responsible.
With every hallway becoming a battlefield and every choice a matter of life or death, Lena must decide who she can trust and how far she's willing to go to protect the people she loves.
But the infection is evolving.
And the real nightmare hasn't even begun.
