A bonding adventure goes horribly wrong in this gripping story of trust, survival, and motherly instincts. Karla and her stepdaughter Olivia are alone on a remote family camping trip when news of a mysterious outbreak in nearby San Francisco begins to trickle in.

With little information to go on, the two women must identify the biggest threat to their safety: the supposedly deadly virus, the stranger who stumbles into their campsite, or each other.

Playwright Marisela Treviño Orta was awarded a commission through the Audible Emerging Playwrights Fund, an initiative dedicated to developing innovative original plays driven by language and voice.

My kids and I share a love for fantasy, sci-fi and anime. But, even they would have left the daughter behind.

The performances were fine. Enough that it kept me there for a one hour plus story. I expected the step daughter to be a challenge. And she was not a character I had sympathy for.

The ending was also predictable. I really was hoping for something else in the end. A twist of some sort.

Even my kids would have left the daughter (spoiler. Kind of)

I’d give it 6 stars, if I could. The plot was engaging and thoughtful, bringing the listener more than a good suspense. Though, the storytelling delivered plenty of that too.

Very well done
