Project Lacrimosa

Alec had built his life with precision: a solid job in the police force, financial stability, loyal friends, and Sara - the woman with whom he finally believed he could find peace. But everything begins to crumble when a seemingly routine case turns into the greatest nightmare of his career.

A new drug, initially treated as a modified narcotic, reveals effects that defy explanation. People exposed to the compound descend into extreme violence, lose cognitive function within minutes, and... do not die the way they should.

As the city plunges into chaos, Alec finds himself trapped between two truths: the system has no idea what it's dealing with - and someone powerful knows exactly what's behind it.

Trying to survive and protect Sara, Alec joins forces with what remains: Jason, the partner who knows his flaws and strengths better than anyone; Richard, the captain who knows more than he lets on; and a handful of survivors whose presence may mean salvation... or damnation.

As the world collapses around him, Alec realizes that the threat isn't only the infected - but the secrets each person carries, including those he himself avoided confronting his entire life.

In the end, the apocalypse isn't about monsters out there.
It's about what each of them will become in order to survive.
