Twenty-eight years after the original Rage Virus outbreak, a secluded island community lives under a fragile calm, separated from the mainland by a causeway. When young Spike and his father Jamie leave the safety of the island for a ritual hunting trip, they uncover mutated infected, deeply buried secrets and a strange doctor whose motives may be darker than they appear. The journey becomes not just one of survival—but of confronting what humanity has become in the aftermath of catastrophe.
