A strange new synthetic drug is creeping its way into the dark corners of drunken parties and night clubs, its horrible side effects earning it the street name 'the Darkness'...
Eighteen months later and the world is a barren wasteland, ruled by the terrifying zombie-like creatures called the Ragers, the remnants of the Darkness still coursing through their veins...
Maya and Penn are the lucky.
Immune to effects of the Darkness, they are among the small population of survivors, competing against the Ragers and each other for their future...
But Penn is now changing, changing in ways he was told he never would...
The Darkness is beginning to rear inside him, and he knows the future for him is bleak...
Maya cannot afford to lose anyone else, but what if Penn has already given up and allowed the Darkness in?
How far will she go to save the boy she has come to love?
And in a world of darkness, can Maya's light be the one thing Penn needs to live again?
A story about hope in the darkest of times...
