When a late-night party in a luxury KTV turns into a slaughterhouse, William Gibson's life is split open by the first waves of an evolution gone wrong. The friends and strangers around him twist into savage, bloodthirsty predators—victims of a global transformation that no one saw coming.
Trapped in a city where streets are ruled by the newly evolved and the newly dead, William discovers he is changing too. But evolution has a price. His humanity hangs by a thread, and a single mistake can turn him into the monster he's fighting.
As he teams up with a fire-wielding stranger and a man who can see through souls, the fight for survival becomes a race to uncover why the world is dying—and what they've now become.
When the apocalypse isn't the end, but the beginning, what will it take to stay human?
