'Secrets can kill…

'In a near-future society where those cured of a pernicious virus are shunned as an inferior underclass, a troubled, young man is forced to confront his bigotry, leading to a situation both tragic and unimaginably horrifying.

'Forklift operator Dave Watson harbours a common prejudice against ‘the cured’—those who recovered from a zombie virus but bear the scars of their ordeal. When he falls in love with sales rep Sandra, however, his outlook on life (and on those who discriminate against the cured) is challenged.

'But just as he and Sandra are building a life together, the media delivers a stunning revelation about the cured—one that could jeopardise Dave’s newfound happiness. Consumed with self-doubt and jealousy, Dave makes a rash decision that threatens to destroy his relationship with Sandra and plunge them both into a maelstrom of violence, bloodshed, and terror.' (Publication summary)
