A genetic experiment unleashed a devastating virus that only affected children and what's left of humanity struggles to survive. When one of a small band of survivors is mauled by a grotesquely mutated child, the group is left with a harrowing decision that threatens to reveal their town’s darkest secrets. One man, Adam Dressler, volunteers to go to the town of Soquili for medical supplies, despite the dangers that lurk within. He must not only contend with the mutants, but cannibals that rove the area--as well as members of his own community that want to stop him.
