The disease, it was the result of the U.S.'s attempt to get rid of the weak. The symptoms were tame, at first. Along the years, the symptoms would get worse and worse. Seizures. Respiratory problems. Ultimately, the weakest would go through organ failure. The population of the U.S. has plummeted. Why? Only 1% of Americans have a mutation that help them survive the disease. Not only that, but the mutation is, unfortunately, not hereditary. Symptoms start for all at 15, but you will only know if you will live the disease at 17. The disease in question? Chronic Selection Disease. And boy, is it a killer.

The world in 2102 is basically chaos, most continents have been obliterated - the upper half of North America, all of Asia, Europe, Australia, South America, and Africa. The United States and Mexico remain untouched, but the threat is closing in on them. The threat is RD15, a disease that starts on your insides and rots your body till you die. It was mutated by rats, taken by mosquitos, who then gave it to humans, who started giving it to each other. Not one person has ever survived the disease - well as far as records go. Phoebe Johnson lives in Northern New Hampshire, dangerously close to Canada where the disease is closing in on the United States. The people around her are frightened, knowing they are all going to die once RD15 reaches the U.S. Except, as always, the United States of America decides to take matters into their own hands and leaves Phoebe in even greater peril than before.
