Gia's world ends on a Sunday morning.
What begins as an ordinary life, with family routines, strict traditions, and the quiet comfort of belief, shatters when Gia wakes to a town stripped of adults. Her father is gone. Her family has vanished. The streets are silent, frozen in the aftermath of something no one saw coming.
Forced into survival, Gia must protect her five-year-old brother, Jackson, while navigating a world ruled by fear, hunger, and unanswered questions. As children and teenagers gather in the old Catholic church for safety, Gia is pushed into a role she never asked for: leader. With dwindling supplies and growing tension, she must make impossible choices to keep everyone alive.
But the disappearance of the adults is no accident. A siren, a pattern, and a connection to Sunday worship hint at something far more sinister. As strange figures begin to appear and the boundaries between safety and danger blur, Gia realises the adults didn't just leave, they were taken.
Amid the chaos, an unexpected connection forms. Trust is rare, love is dangerous between her Ex-Boyfriend and a stranger, and hope feels like rebellion in a broken world. Yet even in the darkness, something human survives.
This is a story about loss, belief, survival, and the courage it takes to lead when the world falls apart about a girl who refuses to disappear, and a love that begins at the end of everything.
