In a world that fell apart overnight, survival isn't the hardest part, hope is.
17 year old Jack Carter wakes up to a world he no longer recognizes. His city silent, streets empty, and something monstrous stalking the living. With no word from his parents and nowhere left to turn, he's forced to leave everything behind and face what's waiting beyond the ruins.
From abandoned safe zones to distant borders, Jack pushes forward, desperate to find answers, shelter, and maybe, just maybe... the family he lost.
Join Jack on a relentless journey through a collapsing world, where survival means trust, loss, and the fight to stay human.
