A bleak post-apocalyptic survival story that uses a child's immunity to fungal infection as both a scientific puzzle and a meditation on what it means to be human.

In the future, a strange fungus has changed nearly everyone into thoughtless, flesh-eating monsters. When a scientist and a teacher find a girl who seems to be immune to the fungus, they all begin a journey to save humanity.
