It all began with a war... In a lawless world Jess lives alone. The governments fell a long time ago when an unknown plague wiped out all the adults. Now gangs wage war on one another for control of the streets below her dilapidated apartment. Alone and afraid she earns a meager living trading with Mollie, a blind Irish woman who works in the black market. Ian and Lucie were raised in a world of privilege until their parents contracted the disease. They were thrown into life in the tenements trying to survive while watching their parents die. Only with Jess' help is Ian able to care for his little sister. When everything changes, who will survive?
