"The world is broken. It's broken and it wants to kill us. All of us. I think it might succeed."
On Christmas Eve, a bomb tears apart the city where Faith MacIntyre lives. At first, it feels like the whole world has ended. After a while, Faith realises that feeling might be right.
Help stops coming, communications break down, and Faith's group is increasingly isolated. They push on to get to the hospital, the last hope for their injured, fighting loss and starvation and other, desperate people who have turned to violence in the darkness.
Worse, it seems as if nature itself is broken and turned against them. Acid taints the rain, dissolving the city around Faith and her group. They soon realise that the hardest battle to fight is the one for hope.
This is the first installment of Faith's journey, with new, extended content!
Contains violence, occasional swearing and adult themes.
