Deep in the American South, a mysterious quarantine zone is spreading, and wildfires rage across three states. But no one knows what's really happening. The head of the Coalition, Katherine Raines, is willing to sacrifice anything and anyone to keep the truth buried.

Selene and her little brother Eli are genetically engineered humans, "Defectives", hiding from the Coalition. Others like them are imprisoned in camps, tortured, and used like lab rats to benefit "pure" humans. As the quarantine zone creeps closer to their hideout in Telmont, Georgia, they must find a way to escape.

Anders is the troublemaking son of the Telmont's sheriff, and he's got a thing for mysterious off-grid girls like Selene. He's also got a secret that can get his family executed for treason... or be Selene's salvation.

Bas fights in an underground rebellion. When a top agent goes missing behind quarantine lines in Georgia, Bas and his team must rescue him. or ensure his secrets die with him.

Bas, Anders, Selene and the Coalition are tied together through destiny and dark secrets from the past. But time is running short as humanity inches closer to extinction. Each of them must uncover the truth about the quarantine zone and themselves, one shocking twist at a time.

Every choice they make matters and will shape the future of humanity...
