'The end of humanity does not fall on a single day. Humanity dies slowly and insidiously through complacency and ignorance. It begins with the youngest, the most vulnerable of the human species, and destroys entire empires until only the strong and the selfish remain. When a vicious and deadly pathogen unexpectedly tears through the human race, Emerson is one of the unlikely survivors. As she begins her journey to the quarantine zone, Emerson reflects back on the days before the end and wonders if there is still time to save humanity?'
