Jon and Marta live under the Protocol, trying to make a happy life from the ruins of their former one. They believe they have succeeded , even as the threat of the plague shadows all their days.

The life they have built, and the very bonds that tie them together, will be gravely tested when the specter of imminent death presses a little too closely. They will discover that the Quarantine Protocol—the iron law that has saved them—will now tear them apart.
