A dark story
about the end, and choice.

After the outbreak, survivors Amy, Hanna, Kat, Mary, Luke, Rey, and Son are packed into one last refuge — under grey skies and scarce food, trust and selfishness are stretched thin.

Zombies prowl outside; rules fray inside. Staying is no guarantee, fleeing no promise of escape. They tug at one another in the ruins, asking again and again: "Survival is not instinct — refusing extinction is." Stay, or fall?

"The sky is grey, the ground is grey — if I jump, perhaps I will fly."
