On the edge of the Northern Atlantic lies a remote island. The islanders are an outwardly harmonious community—but all have their own secrets, some much darker than others. And when a strange disorder begins to infect them all, those secrets come to light. Ferry service fails and contact with the mainland is lost. Rumors begin to swirl as a temporary inconvenience grows into nightmarish ordeal. The fabric of the once tight-knit island is unnervingly torn apart—and whatever the cause, the question soon stops being how or why it happened, but who, if anyone, will survive.

Returning from a salvage run in the city, Edgar finds his family gone, taken to the south coast for evacuation by an international task force.

Mein Name ist Griz. Meine Kindheit war anders als deine. Ich hatte keine Freunde, einfach aus dem Grund, dass ich außer meiner Familie kaum jemanden kenne. Zwar sagen meine Eltern, dass die Welt einst bevölkert war, doch jetzt gibt es nur noch uns. Aber wir sind nicht einsam auf unserer entlegenen Insel. Wir haben uns - und unsere Hunde. Aber dann kam der Dieb, und er stahl meinen Hund. Auch wenn es kein Gesetz mehr gibt, das Diebstahl bestraft, werde ich ihn mir zurückholen.
