When a strange vibration-borne infection tears through Chicago, a brilliant but anxious teen and her fearless younger brother must flee the collapsing city— discovering along the way that their survival, their family, and the fate of the world are more connected than anyone realizes.

SYNOPSIS:

When the sun rises over Chicago, the world begins to end.

RUN follows Rev Freeman, a sharp, guarded teenager forced into adulthood overnight when a sudden, violent outbreak tears through the city. As panic spreads and systems collapse, Rev’s only priority becomes survival — protecting her younger brother Caleb and getting out of the city before the streets turn unrecognizable.

What begins as a familiar outbreak quickly reveals something more unsettling. The infected don’t just attack — they move with purpose. Time behaves strangely. The environment itself feels altered, as if the city is being reshaped in real time. As Rev and Caleb push north, crossing borders both literal and emotional, they encounter fractured communities, moral compromises, and the cost of staying human when the rules no longer apply.

At its core, RUN is not about the end of the world — it’s about what we carry through it. Memory, family, guilt, and love become just as dangerous as the infected themselves. Every choice leaves a mark. Every mile forward demands something in return.

Grounded, urgent, and emotionally driven, RUN is a prestige survival thriller that blends intimate character drama with escalating cosmic mystery — building toward a revelation that redefines the outbreak and the world it’s consuming.
