A tiny little island off the East Coast of America, that sits on its owntiny little fault on the underlying tectonic plate. An odd little historyignored by almost everyone... until the night of the big storm, and the crack inthe fault line, and the release of something foul from the earth's guts, blownacross the little town of Smoky Island. And the only two people on the islandwho were outside its reach are now trapped on a black spit of rock with apopulation who aren't people anymore undefined they started eating each other anhour ago!
