The pandemic spreads over virgin populations threatening the entire breath of humanity... Melting polar ice wakes dormant spores that had been locked away for eons beneath the frozen tundra. The pandemic grows with unprecedented tenacity. Asia is polluted first by the tempest. It then spreads from the epicenter, through Europe and the Americas simultaneously, before invading the United States. The epidemic expands into the heartlands, racing eastward like a malignant blizzard, corrupting everyone it touches with vial symptoms. The sick and dying outnumber Carriers or Immunes. A young business man working in Manhattan claws his way out of New York City in search of his upstate family. He treks with others trying to reach home. Obstacles impede their advance, from environmental calamites to hostel human flotsam, all conspiring to siphon hope from their fragile spirits. They are not deterred. It is this steadfast determination that embodies the human spirit. As one reaches out for a sliver of hope, the possibility of losing what has already been obtained is at risk. Is hope worth the sacrifice? In the end, you can lose everything; possessions, family, hope and life itself.
