Is the individual life expendable for the many? Would you give your own life for humanity to have a second chance? Subject numbers three and five grapple with the prolonged mental side effects and memory drain of human experimentation on the run. After escaping a lab with more than a few scars, they must try to figure themselves out, along with the world left around them. Dr. Stintz, a cold, twisted sense of morality wrapped in human skin, needs them more than they know and will do whatever it takes to retrieve what he views as his property. He will spare no expense to tear apart the city―and his family―to finish what he thinks needs to be done. A long game of cat and mouse, with stakes higher than either of them are willing to give up, pushes subject number three to question what he is willing to give to stay alive.

Reed and Dahila aren’t the only things creeping in the dark that Dr. Stintz left behind in his wake. Genetic engineering takes its toll. They will come to realize that the damage to their minds was minor compared to the rest of his subjects. Dahlia is a survivor of the horrific responsibility the world has placed on her. She's given a second chance at life by her husband Reed's sacrifice. She will do whatever it takes to fulfil her promise and find their son in the leftovers of a society on the brink of collapse. Hunters, scavengers, and the city's militia squabble over what's left of the land surrounding Harrion to survive. Every choice will take a piece of her while she tries desperately to hold on to her humanity. What would you give to piece your family back together?
