Former Army grunt Jonah Browne is a survivor. Guilt-ridden and haunted by the past, he is determined to set things right, one dead Molter at a time.

Fortunately, while stationed in Germany in the military, he learned the location of (abandoned) military bases, so he stocks up on guns, ammo, and explosives.

On his warpath he discovers a group who has found a way to fight back against The Molting and its bloodthirsty spawn. His work with them not only kills more Molters, but also enables him to begin the process of piecing himself back together.

As he recuperates within the safety of guarded fences surrounding a peaceful town, he stops just surviving and starts living again.

Until the fortifications fail, and Jonah discovers a shocking truth—a secret that changes his thoughts about not only the creatures threatening humanity, but the planet Earth itself.
