"It's funny, really. How quickly we go from predator to prey when hunted by something smarter than we are..."

Luke, an average sixteen-year-old boy, is about to find this out for himself. Eastrock Island is a misty, isolated place just off the coast of southern Oregon. He's lived there all his life, and is about to watch it become hell on earth. Watch as his home is burned, neighbors are murdered, and family's lives are put at stake. Something has escaped from a lab, spreading like wildfire. A monster... Luke and two other rogue teens are forced to band together in the fight for survival, stretching the fragile beginnings of their friendship to a breaking point. At first, their objective is simple: escape. But when they stumble on some startling information, things get complicated.
