The Story
With a devastating plague killing everyone as soon as they fall asleep, an unsuccessful pharmaceutical researcher and her estranged family spend their final hours fighting their way through a deadly forest to find a plant only she believes is the cure.
Characters
Ash
A blend of brilliance, charisma, and lunacy: the son of chaos. After escaping from the psychiatric ward to which he was confined for unspeakable crimes, he takes refuge in the forest where he used to hunt in his youth… for a whole new level of hunting. A morbid nihilist, he soon learns that Martha and her family are after a possible cure and grows maniacally obsessed with getting his bloody hands on it.

Martha Bonet
Estranged wife to Karl, mother to Bea and Matt. A pharmaceutical researcher who went through a series of hardships in her early life and became work-obsessed later on in an attempt to catch up... only to fail again and again, losing her family in the process. But today, when she’s asked for the last time to choose between family and work, she may just have one final shot at redemption: saving humanity.

Karl Bonet
Husband to Martha, father to Bea and Matt. A former Marine, Karl became a gym teacher and a family man, ready to raise his children after things with Martha began to fall apart. With the heart of a father, the mind of a coach and the discipline of a fighter, he strives to be the buffer between this tragedy and his family, Martha included, since he never stopped loving her. To save their lives, he’ll do anything.

Bea Bonet
a brash valedictorian, who, opposite her mother, is destined for premature success. Atheist, pragmatic, and with a tinge of cynicism, she grew up resenting Martha for not being there, ultimately disavowing her when she moved out. Once her mom comes back with the “excuse” of saving them, Bea can finally confront her, learn the truth behind Martha’s separation... and about her
own heart.

Matt Bonet
A shy and frail sweetheart of a boy who only recently showed obvious signs of being on the spectrum. He, too, holds a grudge against his mom, but he understands that there’s nothing more valuable, in the face of imminent death, than forgiving. Soon confronted with the fact that his weakness might stand in the way of his family making it, he has a desperate choice to make. One of love and sacrifice.
