In the near future, humanity has been ravaged by a disease caused by a parasitic fungus transmitted by bodily fluids. Over the prior decade, most of humanity that was infected turned into fast mindless zombies called "hungries". The only remaining hope is a cure that could be obtained from research on a small group of carrier but apparently normal children.
Plot
The children are imprisoned by a group of soldiers led by Sergeant Eddie Parks, and go to school at an army base in the Home Counties, where they are experimented on by Dr. Caroline Caldwell. Helen Justineau is responsible for educating and studying the children. Among them is an exceptional girl named Melanie, whom Justineau grows particularly close to, thus forming a special bond.
