A mutated flu creates flesh-eating monsters in Ireland, forcing survivors to fight for truth.
The story centers on a biological disaster that transforms victims into aggressive undead creatures. Ellis and Abe navigate a quarantined laboratory outside Belfast while trying to reveal the source of the infection. Tom uses his experience with conspiracy theories to analyze the situation, though his methods are unorthodox. The child and her guardians face threats from both the infected and human forces, including military units and secret agencies. The plot emphasizes the breakdown of order and the desperate measures taken by ordinary people. Simmons combines elements of medical thriller and horror to create a sense of claustrophobic dread. The narrative does not offer easy resolutions or clear moral victories for its protagonists.
The book is set in Ireland, specifically near Belfast, during a fictional outbreak that mirrors real-world pandemic fears. It engages with the American horror tradition of biological threats and government cover-ups popularized in late twentieth-century fiction.
