Year One

As one American family enjoys their break at their Scottish holiday home, a terrible sickness is released when blood is spilt on ancient magical land.  The sickness travels with the family back across the oceans and within an alarmingly short period of time, more than half of the world’s population is dead.  The virus seems to be unstoppable.

Of those that do survive, latent powers of certain humans rise to the surface.  The ‘Uncannys’ are a  new breed of superhumans, blessed – or perhaps cursed – with the magical abilities of characters of folklore.  Elves, fairies and witches are now fighting for survival in this new world where tyranny rules and misinformation is the norm.  A journalist, a chef, a writer, a paramedic and others come together to try and find somewhere save to live and ride out the horror that has over taken the world.  Strangers become family and form a town of broken refugees who must put aside their differences and prejudices to survive in a new order where governments are gone, the authorities no longer exist and prejudice is rife.
