Know More
John MacGregor has lived a life of solitude since an accident robbed him of his sight. When a mysterious extra-dimensional artefact appears on Earth, draining all energy and life in a rapidly expanding dead zone, MacGregor is pulled into a deadly race against time for survival. Leading a team of specialists into a pitch-black void, MacGregor discovers that the forces within the artefact are not the only danger as panic overwhelms the team.
MacGregor leaves the artefact to discover a world changed forever; the human race has been extinguished, replaced by deadly imitations wandering without will or purpose.
MacGregor returns home, searching for a female companion he knows could not have survived but driven by a hopeless obsession to return to the one place where normality might still exist. But the further he travels in the new nightmarish world, the more terror is waiting…
