During a food run for her little brother and her mother, Juniper gets caught in the middle of an execution being committed by government officials when they deemed the civilians were becoming too rowdy while fuming over the limited supplies in the market. Only a few inches away from death, she gets thrown out of the way by a mysterious and familiar stranger, Roman Parker.
On the run from the government, they embark on a journey to uncover the truth of the origin of this mysterious virus and the shady actions of the government in an attempt to stop the world from crumbling any further into mass destruction.
