Synopsis: Through a heady cocktail of drugs and the occult, Bosley Coughlin has become dimensionally unstable. Passing through the Eye of Aeons, he slips through time and space and glimpses The End. The cities of man lay in ruins and those who still cling to life hide in the rubble like frightened animals; rotting carcasses, trapped somewhere between life and death, shamble through the debris of a fallen society, scouring the landscape for even the smallest sign of the living . . . But this is the only world fourteen year old Ocean has ever known. Starving and alone, she struggles for even the most basic of neccessities: food, water, shelter, love . . . All the while, the ghosts of her past haunt the young girl, reminding her of the horrible costs that survival can sometimes demand. In a world overrun by the living dead, she attempts to find something that may very well be as elusive and rare as her next meal: happiness . . . . Back in the present, Bosley Coughlin stumbles across Clarice Hudson: at first seeming to be nothing more than a simple shopgirl, he soon realizes that she is actually so much more. For in her may very well lay the key to stopping the coming apocalypse and sparing Ocean from the attrocities of mankind's imminent future . . . .
