After Claudia and Ben stumble upon Dorian's secret, they are taken prisoner. Food and supplies are running low and Dorian’s ultimate goal is survival of the race – and fittest.

Claudia is smart and able to buy time – time to meet a group of survivors in Denver – and possibly the love of her life. But loyalty calls her back to the shelter to save her friends.

Plans to reunite with the other survivors are thwarted as she's forced into a caravan to seek out a food source and shed the dead weight. When they stumble upon another group of survivors, someone will have blood on their hands!
