It was just another day in Los Angeles and Blake was trying something new. Unbeknownst to him, a strange disease was slowly spreading throughout the city right around the time he went to get some... physical therapy to help get over getting dumped. But when some of the massage parlor employees attempt to eat him, Blake realizes that this isn’t just influenza, and he has to step it up if he wants to go on existing.
Life grinds to a halt around him. The government declares a state of emergency. They want to move healthy people to a central location to protect them from the infected. It seems like things are finally moving in the right direction. But Blake is uneasy, and when his fears become reality, it’s a race for his life as he and his friend struggle to escape from the city and begin a journey to find sanctuary.
It’s a big country. There must be somewhere the authorities got it right. A city where there weren’t as many infected? They just have to find it.
