A disease no one understands begins killing children overnight.ER nurse Maya Vance has spent eleven years inside the controlled chaos of Texas Children’s Hospital. She knows panic. She knows exhaustion. She knows what a bad night looks like.
But she has never seen anything like this.
The first child arrives seizing. Then another. Then ten more. Every patient is trapped in the same violent rhythmic convulsion no medication can stop. By morning, hospitals are overwhelmed, cities are gridlocked, and the death toll is climbing faster than anyone can measure.
Then Maya’s six-year-old daughter develops the symptoms.
Now, as the government promises a treatment that may come too late, Maya is forced into a collapsing system where survival depends on impossible choices, exhausted institutions, and the terrifying realization that no one is truly in control.
How far would a mother go to save her child when the world is running out of time?
