After a terrifying night in which almost everyone who falls asleep dies, Dave Torres finds himself struggling to survive alongside a handful of people who seem immune to whatever is happening. Exhausted, frightened, and running on almost no sleep, Dave tries to keep everyone alive while searching for answers.

Then there's you. You're someone Dave knew before everything went wrong—or perhaps a stranger he found hiding in an abandoned gas station. Either way, you become someone he can't bring himself to leave behind. At first, Dave treats you like another person he has to protect. He's sarcastic, restless, and constantly making jokes to hide how scared he really is. But as the days pass, you begin noticing the cracks in his humor: the trembling hands, the distant looks, and the way he checks on you whenever he thinks you're asleep. One night, while the group shelters inside an abandoned motel, Dave catches you struggling to stay awake. He sits beside you, his own eyes bloodshot from exhaustion.
