Detour

Neri was supposed to be catching sunsets on a beach with her three best friends, not fighting for her life on a gridlocked highway that turned into hell in the span of one gunshot. What started as an annoying detour and a blown-out tire became the last normal moment any of them would ever know. Because somewhere north of the traffic, the screaming had already begun - and it wasn't the kind of screaming you walk away from.

When Officer Franco stops to help change their tire, Neri doesn't know he's about to become the only reason she survives the next twenty-four hours. Handsome, steady, and terrifyingly calm under pressure, Franco leads Neri and her friends through a nightmare no one warned them about - a virus, a bite, a bullet, all blurring into one truth: the dead don't stay dead, and the living don't stay human for long.

As the highway dissolves into chaos - overturned cars, desperate strangers, and flesh-hungry monsters who used to be someone's neighbor, sister, or son - five people-turned-survivors must learn to trust each other with their lives. Every mile forward costs them something. Every decision could be the one that gets them killed, or the one that keeps them breathing until sunrise.

This is not the vacation Neri planned. This is survival - raw, bloody, and unrelenting. In a world where the infected don't think, only hunger, the only thing standing between her group and the end of everything is each other.

Will they make it out alive, or will the highway become their grave? 🩸🚗💀
