The world ended slowly—sirens fading into silence, cities emptying into ghosts, and survival becoming the only language that mattered. David Rossi, once a paramedic who spent his life running toward emergencies, now drifts alone between abandoned towns with a scavenger’s caution and a survivor’s discipline.

Helping could mean danger. Driving them out could mean death.

And David must decide which burden he is willing to carry this time.
