When a massive blackout throws the city into chaos, youth center worker Talia Reyes has one goal: get the teenagers in her care to safety before fear, violence, and darkness turn the streets into a trap. Then Micah Boone walks through the door. A paramedic with steady hands, a trauma bag, and a history Talia has never fully escaped, Micah becomes the one person she must trust as the city unravels around them. Together, they guide a frightened group through powerless streets, smoke-filled intersections, and rising unrest, fighting to stay one step ahead of danger. But survival is only part of the night’s reckoning. As old wounds reopen and buried feelings ignite, Talia and Micah must protect the vulnerable, face the past, and decide whether love can survive the dark long enough to lead them home.
