Calidris, known as Cali by his 'friends', is a university student who is burdened by the weight of his academic performances and his dysfunctional friend group. Aware of his miserableness and lack of joy in his life, he finds himself wishing for a world-- a reality shift of his current dimension. 

When he awakens, the world his everyday self was familiar with suddenly becomes a warped version of his town- a distorted manifestation of his unconscious thoughts. With the desire to sleep it all off and hide away in his room, Cali must tread through his nightmarish town where he confronts his own personal demons and distorted creatures, in which he realizes the true meaning and reason as to why his world has warped into the way it has become.

"Pretty girls like you shouldn't be out of town on your own." His raggedy silver beard, smell of sweat, cigarettes and just the persona of dominance made me want to recoil back in fear as a sick Cheshire grin creeped up his face. "Good thing I have a gun." I mutter back bitterly. Francesca only being seventeen, has to worry about more then just boys and high school. Since a young age Francesca has taken up the role of being a motherly figure for not only her own self, but her younger brother, Max, since her mothers passing. Since the infamous disease, Beutionus, has spread over the world, Francesca's life has taken a turn. Even though her state has been secured off, some people whom are infected somehow seem to sneak in and rise havoc. The infected are no longer considered humane, they crave flesh and have all taken an animalistic side, resorting to eating and devouring anything with a heart beat. No compassion, no empathy. No remembrances of their past life. When Francesca's state is found to no longer be secure, she finds her and her family, far past the "safe" borders to which the President has proclaimed. What dangerous fate will Francesca be tossed into?
