Ryan Dolan thought the worst thing he had to survive was his own grief. After a failed suicide attempt lands him in a restrictive community outreach center, he expects therapy sessions and medication. He expects to mourn the loss of his wife and unborn son in a medicated haze.

He does not expect the fire.

It starts with his roommate. There is no smoke. There is no external ignition. There is only a sudden, silent immolation that consumes the man from the inside out. As the phenomenon spreads from the patients to the guards, the facility descends into chaos. Ryan watches as authority figures crumble into piles of ash and bone.

Is this a government experiment gone wrong? Is it the beginning of a biblical apocalypse? Or is this hellish landscape merely a psychotic break, a delusion conjured by a mind that can no longer handle reality?

Ryan must escape the ward to find the truth. He flees into a world that is tearing itself apart, where the laws of physics have surrendered to a terrifying new normal. This is a visceral dive into the darkness of the human psyche. It is a story about the fragility of sanity and the terrifying heat of a world on fire.
