When an apocalyptic psychosis engulfs Chicago in 2016, Adrian Carter's ordinary life evaporates. His stable world of school, friendships, and familiar relationships dissolves into pure darkness—a realm dominated by violence, savagery, and relentless death. A psychotic contagion transforms the city's population into homicidal maniacs, hunting their prey without conscience or restraint. Survival becomes uncertain at best. But Adrian faces a danger that dwarfs even the bloodlust ravaging the streets: Lila, his obsessed ex-girlfriend, whose possession and lethal devotion make her a force just as deadly. Caught between mass slaughter and Lila's unbreakable hold, Adrian must endure a devastated Chicago consumed by madness. Every moment tests his limits. Every shadow threatens annihilation. His mind fragmenting, Adrian fights to preserve both his life and his soul—all while trapped in the grip of a woman who won't release him.
