Melody Fields is an investigative journalist....Or, at least, she used to be.The majority of the United States has been transformed into bloodsucking monsters, and the few humans who remain must reside in protected colonies, completely cut-off from the outside world. Marooned on the island Colony of Nantucket, Melody can't help but notice when her fellow colonists begin to disappear. True to her reckless nature, she decides to investigate the disappearances and takes things a little too far...so far, in fact, that she winds up all alone, smack-dab in the middle of monster country. Whether leaving Nantucket was the smartest or stupidest thing she's ever done, Melody doesn't know...but she's determined to find the truth about what's happening to the humans who have been taken out of the colony or die trying.
