The sun slowly descends below the horizon bringing a comforting darkness to the residents of Columbia, South Carolina. Streetlights flicker to life at intersecting corners, traffic thins to almost non-existence. Warm light glows from the windows of houses as people settle into their evening routines. The world slows to a night like any other until...

The portal opens...

Wispy fingers of gossamer mist spreads over the slow moving Congaree River. Brown and gray, it twists and swirls restless, hungry as it spreads wider and higher, swallowing everything in its path. When it dissipates, seeping back into the ground, the world has changed.

Five strangers wake to a world devoid of people and populated by hungry, savage beasts. Without family, friends, or modern resources, they start a quest for answers where one small mistake leads to horrible death.
