A global pandemic has taken hold, wiping out the majority of
the world’s population in a matter of hours. Melbourne’s population is
decimated within four hours in horrific (and graphic) scenes of death. Amid the horror, a few hundred survivors are rescued and transported to the
quarantine facility known as ‘the school’. Here they try to forget the horrors
they have experienced and adjust to their new lives, existing on the most basic
of food supplies and minimal provisions, while they learn the skills they might
need in the new outside world, namely survival and combat skills.
Amongst the survivors is Pandora Jones, who wakes after
weeks in a coma, learning that everyone she loves is gone forever. Particularly
intuitive, Pandora soon feels that something about the School is not quite
right and she is determined to find out what it is. Why are the survivors kept locked behind a wall with guards in lookouts keeping an eye on them? How is it they can get some supplies to the school but not others? And why is Pandora more willing to trust her strange dreams than she's willing to trust her own horrific memories?
