The second strain of a deadly virus, Neuro Type 2, ravages the globe, outrunning every medical breakthrough. In the small, rural town of Rosedale, Virginia, life clings on like a flickering candle, but the virus's relentless presence is undeniable. Every day feels like a countdown.

Andrea McNeil, a mother of six, races against time as a nurse on the frontlines, facing the chaos of the pandemic while searching desperately for her missing daughter. With her ex-husband's shadow looming and his hand in the virus's spread growing ever clearer, Andrea must protect what remains of her family. She holds tight to her five remaining children and her moral compass, hoping it will guide them through as the world falls apart.

Megan Mullen, a childhood friend of the McNeil family and girlfriend to Ezrah McNeil, battles her own ticking clock as her mother's illness worsens. Each moment feels fragile, fleeting. Ezrah, trying to support her, struggles to keep their love alive, but fate tears them further apart-flinging Megan into despair and Ezrah into the flames. As the minutes tick by, and they grow spiritually, physically, and emotionally distant, their love faces a race against time.

Can they hold on to each other in a world where time itself seems to be running out? Or will they fall victim to madness or the disease in the wake of preserving everything they hold dear?

You'll lose grip on what's reality and what's illusion. 2) You'll start to slowly fall down the rabbit hole, forgetting the past and everything and everyone that you knew. 3) You face your imminent death. 4) You wake up with a pressing hunger for the living. It's been seven months since the pandemic hit with this virus and the world has been ravaged and left to ruins. Society has crumbled to nothing and more than three fourths of the population have been infected with the mysterious virus that took the world by storm.

She's done what she's had to do to survive, and in that process she has created demons that haunt her every time she closes her eyes. See, it hasn't been easy trying to live in a dead world. She's lost friends, family, and everything she's ever known. The only thing she hasn't lost is her humanity and her hope. But she's afraid she's starting to.
