Scattered over Long Island, the remnants of mankind resistant to a weaponized virus have reduced the remaining survivors to only tens of thousands.

She learns that her efforts to find answers to questions she never thought to ask regarding the start of the conflict will determine whether humans and Partials survive, as she fights valiantly to save what's left of her species.
Partials is essentially a story of survival that examines the unique stories and intricate relationships of those left behind, both humans and Partials.
