Description
When a devastating earthquake strikes Los Angeles without warning, the city is reduced to chaos, rubble, and desperate uncertainty. Amid the wreckage, survivors struggle to find loved ones and secure shelter while violence, fear, and long-buried impulses rise to the surface. As one fractured family confronts the disaster—and the dangerous people who emerge from it—the novel explores survival, trauma, obsession, and the fragile boundaries of civilization. Combining apocalyptic suspense with visceral psychological horror, it presents a relentlessly dark vision of catastrophe and human nature.
