The Ones Who Survive tells the story of 28-year-old Cole Trent who after serving a 10-year prison sentence returns home to an empty house and the world in the grip of a pandemic. Acute Cellular Rabid Encephalopathy Syndrome, ACRES, has brought sunset on civilization, but with the end comes clarity, what truly matters: love.
With his family in Florida and no way to get to them, Cole focuses on the love he can rescue, his boyfriend, Alexander Oz, incarcerated at Green Haven Correctional Facility-the very place he swore never to go back to.
