June 2020. The world is already fraying from unrest, fear, and uncertainty-but for Addison Boyd, a 17-year-old competitive swimmer from Dallas, life still revolves around the rhythm of meets, friendships, laughter, and teenage milestones.
When she and eight of her closest teammates travel to Austin for a summer break reunion, the sky shatters with the arrival of the "Death Angels"-blind apex predators drawn to even the slightest sound.
Thrown into chaos, the girls must navigate a collapsing Texas-silent streets, ruined homes, vanished families, and survivors desperate enough to become threats themselves. Guided by their training discipline and the support of unexpectedly loyal allies, the swimmers cling to the one hope that remains: reach Houston, secure a seat on the international evacuation flights, and reach Melbourne, one of the few cities where life continues normally thanks to the Angels' inability to swim.
