❝ There's no higher power, there's no God. There's just chaos and violence and random, unpredictable evil that comes out of nowhere. It rips you to shreds. ❞
Shawn and Louise Middleton are among the thousands of families that were split up during the evacuation of Atlanta, having been separated from their young son, Benjamin 'Benji' Middleton, as they attempted to flee the city.
They're panic-stricken, staying in the city long after the local safe zones had been overrun in the hopes of finding Benji. But after hearing word that a group of survivors in Virginia were supposedly working to reconnect families like theirs, Shawn and Louise leave Atlanta in the hopes of being reunited with their son.
But the young couple faces more than physical and emotional challenges on the way --- they face a journey that threatens to take them further than the search for their missing son. Secrets will be revealed, hearts will be broken, sacrifices will be made --- and lives will be changed forever.
