The sky mysteriously turns red, followed by the attack of unknown, unstoppable creatures (LASHERS) that kill everything in their path. It’s a terror unlike anything the world (of fiction or otherwise) as ever known. After a few hours, the Lashers vanish as quickly as they appeared, and the red sky returns to normal. But after nine days, the same horrific event repeats!

Seven years later, the United States, ground zero, has become a giant prison, nearing extinction as the sinister 9-day cycle of death continues like clockwork, with no explanation or salvation. Like spectators, the rest of the world anxiously watches and waits, giving America a chance to defeat this unknown threat from within their own borders, before global fears of Lashers spreading to other nations provokes a dramatic nuclear solution that would completely annihilate ground zero.  

Will Ruko and Hayvin uncover the mystery and save a dying nation, along with their dying hope for love and happiness in this heart-pumping, post-apocalyptic original? For that to happen, Ruko must overcome his own skeletons of the past and allow Hayvin’s optimism, selflessness, and faith inspire him out of apathy to face his fears.
