About This Book

A man awakens drugged in a cramped, sealed space and climbs into an eerily deserted city; mundane objects and broken signals underscore the absence of people. Separately, a woman also wakes to the same empty streets, encountering locked doors, no running water, and mounting thirst and frustration. The narrative follows their separate movements through silent avenues and tenement airshafts as they search for food, other survivors, and an explanation, while escalating feelings of panic, isolation, and bewilderment shape their attempts to cope.
