Loner Paul, bully Adam, golden girl Erika, wannabe Caitlyn, and geeky Mark each struggle to survive when a virulent and predatory nanovirus turns Mortingham Boarding Academy into a steampunk-flavored hunting ground of zombie-like machine hybrids. A maestro of atmosphere and primal fear, Wooding uses high-school dynamics, personal growth, and a touch of heroism to humanize this apocalyptic slasher-thriller.
