Clayton Riddell is standing waiting in the ice-cream queue, lined up to celebrate the sale of his first graphic novel with a Sundae before catching the train home to his wife and son. He is idly listening to other people chatting on their cell phones, when suddenly the world tilts and shows its teeth. Across the park, a grown man viciously attacks a dog and tears its ear from its head, and in the queue in front of him a girl leaps for the throat of a woman – drenching herself and others in the geyser of blood that erupts.

In that horrifying moment the mental fuses of all cell phone users have blown. The Pulse (as it came to be known) has knocked out their human systems, and replaced them with terrible, blood-letting, zombie emptiness. Clay dodges it because he doesn’t own a cell phone. Neither does his wife – but his son does...

Panicked, desperate to stay alive and get back to his family, Clay searches desperately for a safe route out of the city. On the way, he teams up with short, cat-loving, moustachioed Tom and eighteen year old Alice, who had witnessed her own mother’s destruction – both as terrified, shocked and as much on the run as he is.

Their nightmare journey takes them out into the country, travelling by night to avoid the worst of the danger, and tracking the worrying development of those who were affected. It becomes apparent that the Pulse is repairing the damage to their brains, but with what purpose and to what end they cannot begin to guess.

All Clay knows is that the dreadful adventure is knitting his little band closer to each other, and that he must find his family - even though he knows he is probably too late...
