The storm of the century. A ghost city. Law enforcement all but suspended.
Hurricane Matthew is a force to be reckoned with. It has been forecasted to drown the city of Houston in an unrelenting torrent of rain. In the days before its arrival, the city was evacuated, leaving behind only a skeleton police force and civilians unable to flee its destructive path.
Its the perfect time and the perfect place for the perfect crime.
Richter has it all figured out. A professional with years of experience, he leads a group of similar professionals that have seen and done it all. The plan goes down without a hitch, just as Richter envisioned. Its everything else that goes off the rails.
Forced to seek refuge in an abandoned apartment building to wait out the storm, Richter crosses paths with a police officer and her partner. They think theyre each others worst enemies, but theyre wrong. Very wrong. There is a creature of endless hunger waiting in the shadows, and its ready to feed.
Good guys? Bad guys? None of it matters tonight.
