The parasite that transformed them takes hold after people turn eighteen-and Patrick's birthday is only a few weeks away. Determined to save Patrick's life and the lives of the remaining kids and teens, the brothers embark on a mission to uncover the truth about the parasites-and what they find will change everything.
