Breakdown

When the lights went out, civilization fell in hours. Now survival means becoming someone you never thought you'd be.

Sam Prescott has survived the impossible, escaping military detention, outrunning wildfires, and navigating a landscape where every mile reveals new horrors. Now, with Adam and Keith at his side, he faces his greatest test Denver. The once-thriving city has become an inferno, its streets choked with the dead and dying, its buildings consumed by uncontrolled fires. But Denver stands between Sam and St. Louis, between him and his family. There's no way around it. They'll have to find a way through.

A thousand miles away, Rachel and Jeff have found sanctuary at their father's mountain cabin, but sanctuary is an illusion. Gerard's raiders are closing in. As Jeff sets lethal traps in the frozen forest and Rachel learns to kill to protect her children, they realize the collapse hasn't just destroyed civilization, it's unleashed the predators who thrived in its shadows.

Two separate struggles. One desperate in this new world, family is the only thing worth fighting for, and the price of reunion may be higher than any of them can pay.
