In a world where vision has become a luxury, humanity's survival depends on a single, precious resource: the eye drop. One small vial can keep the virus at bay, preventing the infected from becoming Dead Eyes-savage, blind creatures who hunt by sound and scent.
For five long years, the air has been both life and death. Freedom of sight is gone, replaced by fear, scarcity, and a society where morality and trust are as fragile as the liquid that sustains them.
Sue, the head medic of a tightly controlled community, navigates this fragile world with precision. In the labor ward, every mother, every child, every hand is shielded behind protective goggles and gloves, each movement measured, each second precious. When a newborn emerges, Sue carefully quarantines the child, unwrapping their eyes only after ensuring their safety showing both the miracle and the terror of sight in this new age.
Life in the community is divided into departments: Food, Security, Medical, and Scavengers the brave souls who venture into the outside world in search of drops. Every member must learn combat, every citizen must learn the rules of survival, and everyone knows the danger of the Dead Eyes.
As Sue walks through the lab to check on the progress of drop development, she reflects on the cruel reality: in a world ruled by scarcity, even love can become a weapon, trust a liability, and every drop could mean the difference between life... and death.
Drop is a harrowing tale of survival, betrayal, and the price of vision in a world that demands blindness.
