INTRODUCTION
The year is 2012. By now the Krippin virus, originally designed as a miracle drug to cure cancer, has wiped out 90% of all human beings around the globe. Those who do not perish when exposed to the virus fall into two groups: the minority who retain their humanity, and the overwhelming majority who devolve into mindless, barbaric cannibals. Deep amidst the ruins of New York City, Dr. Robert Neville desperately searches for a cure for this deadly virus in a mad attempt to save humanity from extinction. His story, however, is only one of many.
Our story follows a group of seven men and women who, bound together by chance (or fate), are now forced to fend for their lives in the deep South. Each of them has their own motives for living, and for carrying on in the face of danger. Can they work together? Can they find their way in the darkness? Can they survive against countless attacks from their enemies? Or will they fall prey to each other?
