"A deadly pathogen has killed off most of the world's population. When Andrew stumbles upon Jamie's house, he is injured, starved, and has nothing left to lose. And if this new world has taught the two anything, it is to be scared of what other desperate people will do. So why does it seem so easy for them to trust each other? After danger breaches their shelter, they flee south in search of civilization. But Andrew's story isn't adding up-- and it could cost them everything. Jamie has a secret, too: he's feeling something more than friendship for Andrew. To survive the long road ahead they'll have to shed their secrets, face the consequences of their actions, and find the courage to fight for the future they desire. Together." -- Adapted from jacket.
