Oh. but I'm tired, Daddy. Come and wake me. ". Tomorrow died on the last morning of May, but the dark was only the beginning. For countless millions, thrust into a sunless world plagued by madness and monsters, the end was already near. Some chose the comfort of their screens. Others shut the blinds and squeezed their families, oblivious to the unspeakable fate that soon awaited them. For a few, though, the night meant something new, something unknown. For thirty-going-on-forgotten Mariah Nowak, burdened by an unwanted pregnancy and a lifetime of tiny, accumulating regrets, it is a chance to cast off the shackles of her small mountain community and the rustic dive bar where she has toiled for too little and too long. For deaf thirteen-year-old Marcos Walker, caretaker to a forsakened Nevadan town, it is a horrifying responsibility and a pair of unanswerable questions: what became of his mother when the sun stopped shining, and what will he do next. And for hard old John Hawthorne, holding secrets deeply buried, it is his daughter's beckoning voice on the answering machine and a debt waiting to be paid. Together with Mariah, his onetime lover, and the orphaned but resilient Marcos, John will embark on a journey spanning a profoundly transformed America; across the haunted, firelit expanse of Death Valley, through towns full of the sleeping and the dead, down lonely country backroads and dark magic city streets flowing with blood, toward his brother's secluded cabin in the Wyoming Range and far beyond, he will go to his daughter in her blue house by the Atlantic Ocean. He will knock on her door. He will answer her call.
