The year is 1937. A plague has laid waste to the United States. For years, people have been coping with this epidemic in any way they can while the infected continue to mindlessly slaughter anyone in their path. Only now is the country beginning to recover. Mary Cook, a young widow, keeps to herself on her immense estate. Inherited from her husband’s family, it is all she has. As the rest of the world tries to move on, Mary isolates herself, quietly struggling with her personal losses. When an estranged family friend arrives seeking shelter, she is forced to reconsider the value of human connection and come to terms with something she's been hiding since the outbreak began.
