Description:

Life hasn't improved for Avery Cates since he blew up the Electric Church. He’s back in the gutters, but his luck takes a terminal turn when he’s infected with a man-made virus. This isn't a typical sickness; it’s a "digital plague"—nanoparticles designed to rewrite human DNA and melt people from the inside out, turning the population into a biological slurry.

Cates is the unwilling "Patient Zero," and every faction in the decaying remains of New York wants a piece of him—either to find a cure or to weaponize the extinction-level event flowing through his veins. As the city descends into a quarantine-fueled bloodbath, Avery is forced to team up with the very people who ruined his life just to survive another hour.

The clock is ticking as the nanobots begin to take over his body. Cates has to find the source of the plague and a way to stop it before he becomes the catalyst for the end of the world, all while wondering if a world this broken is even worth saving.
