No drill or emergency simulation could prepare Blake County and the tri-county area for the scope of the darkness that would soon overshadow them. Oblivious of the coming biblical-plague-level event, they went about eating and drinking, singing, dancing, and otherwise reveling in the birth of their nation.
The zoom lens of a camera provides Jeremiah McKay an up-close perspective of people and events in his small-town community, ranging from the heartwarming to the repulsive. As a Blake Sentinel reporter and lifelong member of the community, Jerry has gained the friendship and trust of the people he sees on a day-to-day basis. A key event will test the strength of the newspaper’s operations, the community’s cohesiveness, and the character of its inhabitants. Trials will separate the snowflakes from those who prove to be tough as nails.
Both the events witnessed by the journalist and the ensuing tragedy have the potential to happen in Anytown, USA. This post-zombie apocalypse thriller provides a patriotic look into not only the resources that Americans now have but also how quickly they could lose it all.
