As the Copelands continue their quest to find their daughter, they encounter, catastrophic solar flares, demons, and beasts that were once mythological, but are now terrifyingly real.
While their kidnapped daughter is taken in by a religious commune led by the mysterious Reverend Brother, the Copelands meet the only man with the cure to the plague.
The family seem to have found the perfect place to hold up when Karen bumps into an old friend who seems a little too flirty for Joshua's liking. Karen is the only one to hear the cries of a Banshee and Aunt Sally fights her way back to her family.
When the family splits up, Josh leads half the party to a nearby university to find a seemingly prophetic professor, while Karen leads the others to a nearby summer camp on what should be a safe resupply mission.
The end of the world has arrived, and the Copelands must use every ally and every bit of knowledge they possess to survive. It still might not be enough.
