The solar storm devastated the world. The real danger is just beginning.
With the power grid down, cell service gone, and supply chains shattered, the rural towns of Michigan's Upper Peninsula teeter on the brink.

Sheriff Jackson Cross struggles to hold the line when Sawyer, a ruthless criminal mastermind, and the armed thugs he commands set their sights on Munising. They're watching. Waiting. Testing the town's defenses. Jackson knows what's coming, and they're not ready.

For Shiloh Easton, survival came at a cost. Her grandfather was murdered. Her brother is gone forever. Her aunt Lena and her rescue dog Bear promise to help her heal, but Lena is a Type 1 diabetic, and the insulin she needs to survive is nearly gone. Lena is running out of choices -- and time.

Freedom hasn't granted Eli Pope peace. The town still sees a killer. Jackson doesn't trust him, and Lena barely looks at him. When another body is found -- staged and mutilated -- Eli realizes the truth: a serial killer hunts among them. And he's hiding inside Sawyer's crew.

To stop him, Eli must go undercover to live among monsters. The deeper he goes, the more he risks losing the last piece of himself that's still human.

Sometimes the only way to survive is to become the thing you fear.
