A comet is approaching Earth. The end of the world—which no one believed in—is coming. At night, it’s a feast during the plague. But in the morning, reality sets in. Eighteen-year-old Reggie, a master at breaking records on slot machines, her younger sister Katie, her boyfriend—a cop—and a few criminals who’ve managed to escape to a freedom they don’t really want. And zombies, crawling out into the light here and there, like rats poisoned by chemicals. And as for the rest of humanity—nothing but dust.
