When a sudden outbreak turns a normal American high school into chaos, Y/N—a medical research student—and Mateo Reyes, the loud football star she’s barely ever noticed, are forced to survive together as the world outside collapses. As fear spreads and trust becomes fragile, their unlikely connection deepens in the middle of destruction. But Y/N begins to see patterns in the infection that could change everything. Eventually, they reach a safe haven where survivors are working toward a cure—giving her a chance to help stop the outbreak… if they can survive long enough to see it through.
