Ten years after a global pandemic devastates the United States, a desperate single father embarks on a dangerous journey to uncover the mystery of his missing daughter who may have been taken by the army as a test subject for an unstable, deadly vaccine.
She may be alive. Or gone forever.
Ten years after a global pandemic devastates the United States, the army turns on survivors, capturing them as test subjects for an unstable, deadly vaccine. Amid the oppression, a desperate single father, Edney, is still searching for his missing daughter, Jules. While living in a secret camp, he finally receives her belongings and news from a friend serving in the army that Jules was shot dead outside the abandoned Denver Quarantine Zone.
The claim soon raises questions as Edney finds Jules’ diary in her backpack, suggesting a different story about what happened to her. Suspecting his friend may have taken Jules to be used as a test subject, Edney leaves the camp and travels across post-apocalyptic America to Denver QZ to uncover the truth. With the army roaming the streets and the infected lurking around every corner, Edney presses on with the hope that Jules is still alive. Because if she isn’t, he won’t live another day.
