Adam Ktokolwiek, a writer living in Deep East Texas, just woke up to discover his son died in the middle of the night.
He calls 911 . . . and no one answers.
He drives to the police station . . . and everyone is dead.
Now what?
First, he’s got to check on the rest of his family. He’s got two ex-wives and two other kids to find, along with his own health issues to worry about.
With human nature being what it is, what’s Adam going to find as he sets out to locate his family?
