'It's twelve days later and chaos reigns in New York. Pursued by the predatory Chasers, Jesse finds unexpected friendship in three other survivors: Felicity: a girl he meets via a home video. Finding her is the key to escape. Rachel: more concerned with animals than people. Can Jesse persuade her to put her own safety first? And Caleb: disillusioned, angry, and maybe dangerous.

'Friendship comes at a price in a world where nothing can be relied upon. Will Jesse s new mates help him flee or is he . . . destined always to be alone?'

'Sixteen year old Jesse has spent eighteen days in post-apocalyse New York, waiting for help that never comes. He owes it to his new friends, Rachel and Felicity, to go beyond their temporary refuge to find other survivors who may hold the key to escape. Could the collective at Chelsea Piers have the answers or prove to be just another distraction in his quest?

'Meanwhile, Jesse is burdened with guilt and sadness at the fate of his other friend, Caleb, who has fallen prey to the virus and become a Chaser. So when it emerges that a cure-all serum may be available, Jesse determines to secure it to save his friend at any cost...perhaps even his own future.'
