A contagion--or a curse--has decimated the planet. Marked with a bloody
cross, the Infected are driven to indulge their sickest desires. In this
world of psychos, savages, and sexual predators, the few remaining
uninfected learn to keep moving: endlessly fleeing fate. This is the
story of those who refused. Those who are too desperate, too angry, or
too broken to hide from horror. It's the story of a comic-book writer
who witnessed the downfall of London, and now finds himself in the midst
of a new community, a new start, on a barren island off the Scottish
coast. Pretending, just for a while, that he's safe, that he's
useful...that he has a future. It won't last. There's no sanctuary. No
fighting back. No hope. There's only the Crossed.
