In a world where progress has stifled the very essence of human evolution, a terrifying future waits...
The year is 2051, and the Western Allied States have emerged as the dominant power in North America. However, a sinister plague is spreading like wildfire, transforming its victims into something unimaginable. The call them the Chead, and where they walk, destruction follows. Across the nation, the search for a cure becomes paramount. As fear tightens its grip, the government's ironclad control grows, thriving on obedience and conformity.
In this treacherous landscape, eighteen-year-old Chris, a seemingly ordinary young man, believes in the illusion of safety. Until the night they come for him. Branded a traitor, Chris is abducted and taken to a clandestine facility deep in the Californian mountains. There he becomes an unwilling subject in a diabolical experiment aimed at reshaping humanity. The odds of emerging unscathed are slim. But death is a privilege reserved for the fortunate few.
Can Chris overcome his new reality and find a glimmer of hope in the darkness? Or will he succumb to the merciless powers that threaten to consume him and everything else in this grim world?
