Athena wants one thing: to die her own way, among the redwoods in California. She doesn't have much time to get there, either—like all the other survivors of the plague, her body is riddled with cancer.So she loads up her car, loads up her guns, and starts her journey west from New York. She's determined to let nothing stand in her way.All of that changes when a healthy pregnant woman and her brother cross Athena's path. Soon, all three find themselves hunted on the highways by a murderous organization called The Iron Cross.But nothing The Iron Cross can do compares to the nightmare an evil genius named Doc Frankie has in store for them.
