In a world ravaged by the devastating arrival of the squid, status and age no longer mattered. Everyone fought, and the war was still lost.

Burke, a combat veteran, is a man past his prime and now faces battles of a new frontier—against his own age and the slow, but inevitable, betrayal of his body. All he wants to do is get through the remainder of his days without any trouble, but the world is unforgiving and peace is a distant memory.

Arvin, Burke's neighbor and friend, is losing time. The present, slipping away like water through cupped fingers. Arvin's fragmented memory could lead to deadly consequences as the power within threatens to consume him and everyone he cares about.

Charlie, a young girl born into this world, has known nothing but loss. Despite Burke's efforts to shield her from a harsh reality, she embraces her thirst for vengeance.

In the shadows, poised to shatter their fragile existence, lurks a new threat. As darkness falls, they must confront an adversary that surpasses any challenge they've faced before.

This electrifying post-apocalyptic journey immerses you in a world where hope flickers in the encroaching shadows like a dying flame of a broken lantern and where the boundaries of loyalty and the pursuit of justice are tested against the backdrop of a relentless enemy.
