A situation of this magnitude had always been talked about - but could it ever really happen?
Jake Shepherd is piloting a flight to Seattle when out of the blue, his aircraft falls from the sky. The power-grid across the United States crashes, leaving all computerized machines crippled, sending the country into a disastrous tailspin.
Alice Shepherd is working the emergency room when hundreds of injured people pour in needing help. With no electricity, resources are limited--Once the back up generators fail, the hospital will not be able to handle the influx of patients being brought in, guaranteeing that all hell will break loose.
Everyone is speculating and panicking. No one knows what really happened. The only thing everyone can agree on is their simple, convenient, technological world is gone. Everyone is left to fight--Kill or be killed. Survive or die.
