The outbreak began quietly. A fever, a bite, a moment of confusion-then chaos.
In a matter of days, an unknown virus has torn through the city, turning hospitals into slaughterhouses and streets into hunting grounds. It moves too fast, spreads too easily, and the world as they knew it is collapsing.
For Miguel, Idz, Andy, and the others, survival isn't just about escaping the infected-it's about the choices they make, the lines they cross, and the people they refuse to leave behind. Trapped in a city unraveling by the hour, they search for the one thing that no longer seems to exist:
A place that's still safe.
But how long before safety becomes just another illusion?
