When a stranger shows up and infects almost everyone Matt Tanner knows with the virus that destroyed the world fifteen years prior. He's forced to make a decision: flee with only a handful of survivors, or stay in the mountains and rebuild.

But when Matt discovers the stranger was carrying a letter addressed to him from someone he thought he'd never hear from again, he's forced to reconcile demons from the past with the chance for a future with the brother he left behind.
