The end of the world is the weirdest time of age.

Welcome to the finish of the world. One minute, people are going about their lives, and the next—not. In the wake from the inexplicable purge, only a handful of young misfits remains.

When everything went down, “Wizard of Odd” Dev Brinkman was seeking shelter through the taunts of his classmates. Goth girl Lucy Abernathy experienced lost her closest friend and got no clue where to turn. And Twinkie-loving quarterback “Marcus” Haddad was learning why you under no circumstances discuss politics and religion in polite organization—or online.

As if lifestyle when you’re 16 isn’t confusing enough, throw in the issues of postapocalyptic subsistence, an instance of survivor’s guilt turned up to seven billion, and the tiny job of rebuilding humankind…

Nobody said doomsday will be a air flow. But also for Dev, Lucy, and Marcus, the best hope—and ideal threat—will come when they find each other.
