David Manning was a normal ninth grade freshman until it all changed. It began without warning and it kills without mercy. The worst part is that it doesn't kill them fully. So he, with the help of his friends and sister, is in search of a shelter, a safe haven, a place where they can call home. Along the way he finds that this virus, this sickness, was not caused by nature, but by mankind. Humanity has doomed itself with a horrible demise, or so seemed.
