The chaos and destruction from a virus that turns its victims into enraged monsters goes into remission, leaving a silent world. Following failed attempts to find an infection free zone, Nila Carter and her group retreat back to the safety and sanctity of her father's cabin. After a period of waiting, believing the infection to be over, Nila and the others venture out to find a long term home. Optimistically, they believe they will find a fresh start in a fresh place. They are not the only survivors to emerge after the long winter. Humanity is not extinct. It is the calm before the storm and the complacent survivors are ill prepared as the sleeping world is about to get a wake up call. Nowhere is safe. Nowhere will ever be.
