Seven months have passed since every adult vanished. Gone.
In a single night, it occurs. A girl who died now walks among the living; Zil and the Human Crew set fire to Perdido Beach; and amid the flames and smoke, Sam sees the figure of the boy he fears the most: Drake. Still, Drake is no more. He and the Darkness were vanquished by Sam and Caine, or so they believed.
Battles erupt as Perdido Beach burns: Sam fights Drake, who has returned from the grave and is prepared to pick up where he and Sam left off; Astrid fights the Town Council; and the Human Crew fights the mutants. Meanwhile, the prophetess Orsay and her companion Nerezza are spreading lethal tales that are spreading like the fire itself. It is said that one may escape the FAYZ by dying. Children are in a frantic attempt to escape the worsening conditions. Do they, however, have enough desperation to think that death will release them?
