Story

Clay Riddell is in Boston celebrating a major career break when a strange pulse sent through cell phones suddenly drives many users into violent madness. In the first wave of chaos, the city collapses and Clay becomes one of the few people still untouched.

With society breaking down, Clay joins other survivors and tries to make his way out of the city and back toward his family. As they travel, they confront not only rampaging phone-crazed people but also the possibility that the affected are changing into something stranger and more dangerous.

The journey becomes a struggle to stay alive, protect one another, and figure out what happened, all while the larger world remains unstable and unresolved. The book builds toward an ending that leaves significant questions open rather than fully explaining the disaster.
