Ezekiel 32, verses 7-8: "When I blot you out, I will veil the heavens and darken stars. I will cover the sun with a cloud and the moon will not give you its light. Yes, I will bring darkness everywhere across your land. Even the brightest stars will become dark above you. I, the lord have spoken." When a cosmic event shrouds the sun, plunging the world into darkness, mankind descends into chaos and as civilization collapses, a species that has stayed hidden underground, now find a frightened and weak population to devour. In New Haven Connecticut, Peter Nelson and his High School friends wage a counter war. But before long Peter finds himself looking for revenge, enduring power struggles and fighting his own demons. Each struggle buries him deeper and deeper in darkness. Can he, let alone humanity survive days of darkness?
