Ten years into a eugenic-apocalypse, Jude and Killion are merely trying to survive. Saddled with the burden of a dying clan and their parent's legacy on their shoulders, the duo swallow their morals and fight against everything they've ever known in order to save their family. Elowyn can barely hold herself together, let alone the future of their clan. Holding the fort in Jude and Killion's absence, Elowyn battles nature, cannibals, and even herself. A vaccine doled out to the masses, promising speed, strength, immortality with one small price - cannibalism. The chance for greatness at the expense of morals. Would you remain Human, or take the Cure?

**COMPLETED** Several years after the world succumbed to a deadly strain of measles that turned those infected into crazed, mindless cannibals, Charlotte wanders the backroads alone, content with surviving day-to-day. That is until she crosses paths with Nate and his daughter, Emmi. Emmi is not and cannot be vaccinated against the disease, so the only way to protect her and give her some kind of life is to reunite her with her estranged mother in a quarantine zone on the other side of the country. Charlotte wants nothing to do with Nate or the girl who looks like her dead sister. She does not want to go through the grief of losing people again if something bad was to happen. And something bad does happen when Emmi is kidnapped, and it is no one's fault but Charlotte's. Through this obligation alone, Charlotte feels like it is her responsibility to get Emmi back, to right her wrong. In helping Nate pursue his kidnapped daughter, Charlotte inadvertently allows herself to feel again, to care for those other than herself. But with the clock ticking, Charlotte's new found family may just end up like her own, dead and destroyed, if Emmi is exposed to the disease that her father tried so hard to protect her from.
