How long would you survive? Gemma thought she'd seen the last of Christopher Daley. She was wrong. When she ends up trapped in the city after an event that devastates society, Gemma has to trust the man who broke her heart as they set out on the long journey back home in a world that will never be the same again. GEMMA: before her best friend died, Gemma made her a promise. Gemma leaves four-year-old CJ with his grandmother and catches the train to a law firm in the city to fulfil it. CHRISTOPHER: scarred by a disastrous marriage, and the secret weighing him down, Christopher steers clear of women looking for a commitment. Then Gemma turns up at his office, and drops a bombshell that will have him questioning everything he believed. They have no idea what is about to happen ... THE PULSE: while Gemma is still in Christopher's office, the country is devastated by an event that wipes out electricity, communication, and most forms of transport. By the end of the night, the city is in chaos. THE JOURNEY: Over three hundred miles from home, Gemma's only concern is getting back to young CJ, and his grandmother. Christopher is worried about his own family, and there was no way in good conscience he could let Gemma travel so far alone in a world that had suddenly changed. Together they set out for home, terrified of what the future holds. A story of love, survival, desperation, compassion, loss: a story of never-ending hope
