After an asteroid releases lethal airborne spores, Seattle collapses into silence and ash. Marcus, a podcast producer scraping by on dwindling supplies, follows a risky lead to hidden food and meets Kira, a hardened survivor. Together they uncover evidence that the catastrophe was engineered—an intentional population purge called Project Reset. As emergency broadcasts vanish and survivors are herded into deadly “safe zones,” they join forces with a rogue broadcaster, the Weatherman, to expose the truth. Hunted by private military forces, Marcus and Kira race to hijack global systems, release the cure, and reveal the conspiracy—turning the speak up into humanity’s first step toward survival.
