Separated from her parents and younger brother, she is forced to navigate a brutal new world where survival means trusting no one-and running from everything. Alone, scared, and with nowhere to turn, Anya's journey becomes one of survival, trust, and finding hope in a broken world.
In the midst of the apocalypse, Anya encounters Henry, a mysterious stranger with his own secrets. Though initially wary of him, Anya has no choice but to rely on his guidance as they face the horrors of a society on the brink of collapse. With every step, Anya learns the dark truth about the world they now inhabit-where the living are just as dangerous as the infected-and she must make hard choices to survive.
Meanwhile, Kevin, Anya's older brother, and his best friend Soe are stuck at work when the outbreak begins. As the world around them disintegrates, their top priority becomes finding Anya. But with society in ruins and the danger escalating, Kevin soon realizes that getting to her may be the hardest thing he's ever done.
As Anya grows into someone capable of surviving in this ruthless new world, she clings to the hope that she will be reunited with her family. But the journey ahead will change them all-because in a world where everything has been lost, what is worth saving?
