When a world-changing disease springs up in Chiapas, Mexico, people question whether there is any truth to the doomsday prophecy that had been circulating concerning the end of the Mayas Long Count calendar on December 21, 2012. The virus that brings the dead back to life, turning people into mindless zombies, becomes one of the deadliest pathogens known to humankind. Hannah Winter is the head of information technology at the Biogenetics & Disease Control underground facility located below the city of Dulce, New Mexico. The medical research company is at the center of disease research and prevention in the United States. Her sister Jenna struggles against all odds to travel from San Antonio, Texas to a safe shelter with her in New Mexico. Julie Mehta is a resident virologist at the BDC, runs their state-of-the-art laboratory. She takes on the task of developing a vaccine protective against the virus before every living thing on the planet dies from it. Was this the end of the world? Could this be the beginning of a new way of living? Will Hannah Winter ever see her sister again?
