In a world shattered by an unknown deadly virus, survival is the only game in town. Iris has been on the run for weeks, a lone wanderer in a desolate landscape littered with the dead. One fateful night, her search for shelter and supplies leads her to an SUV outside an apothecary.
When the owners return in a rush, Iris finds herself in a perilous situation. Hiding in the trunk, she's discovered by Frost and Heloisa. But instead of an immediate end, she's taken to their hidden campsite in the forest. Here, she meets Gael, the group's leader, who holds the key to her fate.
Colt, a tough and suspicious member of the group, is immediately on guard. He believes Iris could be a threat, a drug addict, or worse. Their first encounter is a tense standoff, with a knife at Iris's neck and a gun at Colt's groin. But Iris is determined to prove herself and get back what's hers - her mother's necklace.
As days pass, Iris tries to fit in. She starts working in the garden, learning to grow food in this new world. She meets Darick, a wounded but resourceful computer geek, and Dr. Hull, the camp's healer. But Cora, a jealous and spiteful woman, makes it clear that Iris is not welcome.
Now, the group is planning a scavenging mission for gasoline. Iris is left behind, but she knows she must earn her place. With danger lurking around every corner, both from the outside world and within the camp, Iris's journey is just beginning.
Will she be able to prove herself to Colt and the others? Can she find a way to survive in this unforgiving world and keep her mother's memory alive through her necklace? Join Iris as she navigates the challenges of a post-apocalyptic world filled with suspicion, danger, and the hope for a new beginning.
