Midge Sinclair never planned to be a hero. When she learns about an impending nuclear attack on Chicago, survival becomes her only goal. Stranded on a powerless plane headed straight for the city, she faces impossible odds: alert her family, escape the chaos, and make it out alive. Danny Olsen, a med student on a layover, becomes her unexpected ally.
As an EMP cripples the grid and panic erupts, Midge and Danny must navigate a collapsing city where danger lurks at every turn. Time is running out, and trusting each other is their only hope of survival.
But the nuclear strike is just the beginning. Can they escape Chicago before the city—and the nation—falls into darkness?
The clock is ticking, and survival has never been more uncertain.
