Emily Phillips awakens to a seemingly ordinary day in Tumult, Connecticut, only to find the town spiraling into chaos. The morning begins strangely with power outages, mysterious winged creatures wandering in the town square, and unexplained riots breaking out across town. Emily, accompanied by her loyal best friend Molly Adams, soon finds herself ensnared in escalating violence and confusion. The tumultuous day unravels further as the flower shop where Emily works is robbed, shots are fired, and panicked calls to emergency services go unanswered. Emily, Molly, and Emily's brother Ryan become increasingly aware that something sinister is driving the town into madness—something linked to an unknown food supply contaminating the town.

Their desperate quest for answers leads them into confrontation and tragedy: Molly's parents are violently killed amid chaos, and Molly herself is shot by the former mayor during an encounter driven by rage and grief. Emily and Ryan, determined to uncover the truth, seek assistance from Professor Carver, who reveals that an anonymous facility supplying contaminated food is causing widespread insanity. Before they can fully understand their perilous situation, betrayal surfaces, plunging Emily into immediate danger. With darkness encroaching from every direction, Emily's world collapses as she succumbs to an unknown threat, leaving her brother Ryan and Professor Carver fighting desperately against shadowy agents intent on silencing their investigation.

In the 1970s, while working at a 5-star All-Suite Hotel, Sepp first heard the comparison: "Israel and South Africa have one thing in common: both are situated in a predominantly hostile world inhabited by dark peoples."
