Breaking in was the easy part. It’s the world they’re breaking back into that’s the problem. Leo had the perfect plan. Five friends, one vault, and enough offshore cash to disappear forever. With the jammers up and the bank's power cut, they are effectively invisible to the world. But while they’re drilling through three inches of reinforced steel, the world they’re trying to rob is screaming. A viral outbreak has turned the city into a slaughterhouse in less than an hour. Trapped inside the soundproof silence of the First National, the group is blissfully unaware that the police sirens have stopped and the screaming has begun. As the vault door finally swings open, the real horror begins. It’s not just the shambling corpses piling up against the glass lobby doors—it’s the rot inside the group. Sarah thinks she’s fighting for a future with Leo, but Leo is looking at Jax. Jax is drowning in guilt. And Ben just wants to get paid, even if the currency is now blood. In a world where the living are outnumbered and the dead are hungry, the greatest threat isn't the monster outside the door—it's the secret sitting right next to you in the dark.
