INFECTED

Westbrook High School is just like any other American high school-or so it seems.

Tiffany Vanderblit has everything under control. Popular, intelligent, and emotionally distant, she leads the school's most feared social circle alongside Chloe Smith and Nicole Miller. After cheating on her boyfriend, Nicholas Pierce, months earlier, Tiffany has cut him out of her life completely. Nick, however, refuses to let go. Hurt and humiliated by the breakup, he hides his insecurity behind arrogance and resentment, turning every encounter with Tiffany into a silent battle.

On what should have been an ordinary Monday morning, strange events begin unfolding beneath the school. A foul odor spreads through the hallways, maintenance staff mysteriously disappear, and faculty members become increasingly unsettled. Before anyone realizes what is happening, a horrifying infection erupts from an abandoned cellar hidden beneath Westbrook High, transforming students and teachers into violent, flesh-hungry monsters.

As panic tears the school apart, Tiffany, Nick, Chloe, Nicole, Charles Lopez, and a handful of other survivors find themselves trapped inside a building that has become a deadly maze. Forced to fight their way through infected classmates, collapsing friendships, and impossible choices, old grudges become just as dangerous as the creatures hunting them.

Tiffany wants nothing to do with Nick. Nick can't forgive Tiffany for betraying him. Yet survival has a cruel way of forcing enemies to rely on one another.

In a world where trust is fragile and every mistake can be fatal, they'll have to decide which is harder: surviving the apocalypse-or surviving each other.

Because sometimes the dead aren't the only monsters waiting in the dark.
