In 2099 scientists discover a new beast.

It is seven feet tall with bright red eyes and long, sharp teeth. It has been living inside the cemented walls of the waste land which used to be Gary, Indiana. Nobody knows how long its kind has been thriving, or how many of them there are. Nobody even knows it exists - until now.

A few miles away in Wanatah, Indiana, 17 year old Carter Jones is trying to survive after his father is taken away and he is attacked. With his leg healing he decides its time to leave and find civilization.

When the beast escapes from the waste land, it ventures into Valparaiso, Indiana where 16 year old Ana Talley lives with her twin brother Logan, fighting to stay alive after their parents abandon them. But when the beast finds Logan Talley and takes him away, Ana sets out to track him down. What she doesn''t know is that the beast is tracking her down too.
