When a rogue dark star tears Earth from the warmth of the Sun, the planet is plunged into eternal night. The atmosphere freezes and falls like snow, burying cities beneath layers of crystallized air. In this frozen wasteland, a small family clings to life inside a makeshift shelter they call the Nest, where fire, warmth, and carefully collected pails of oxygen mean the difference between life and death.
