When he stumbles on a threatened new outbreak of Elisha's Bear he and his two friends take off for Afterlight - a small rural community of renegade men who live outside of society - to warn his father. As he struggles to save his dad, he and his friends discover a secret that will change their lives and the future of the world forever. A chilling tale of dystopian fiction.
