MALL
During a quick trip to his local shopping mall to get his phone fixed, Luke Chesterfield is thrust into chaos when a nuclear bomb is detonated over his hometown.
Thanks to Cold War era defenses, Luke and a handful of shoppers survive the ordeal but are trapped inside the mall, isolated with only the resources available within the various retailers to navigate their new existence. Jack Jay, a handsome and confident electronics store technician, catches Luke’s eye, but their budding attraction is put on hold when Luke unearths a conspiracy among the mall’s higher-ups to pick off those who remain trapped inside.
Luke, Jack, and a ragtag team of other survivors, including a department store cashier with a proclivity for weaponry, band together to uncover the secrets and eliminate the threat. But the clock is ticking…and not everyone in their newfound group of friends will survive.

PARK
Luke Chesterfield and Jack Jay have spent the first two months of their relationship inside an abandoned shopping mall in the wake of a devastating nuclear attack on their hometown. Now that they’ve received a radio message from the town’s city hall, they begin a journey into the city’s center to meet up with other survivors.
Luke and Jack have barely begun their journey when they are attacked by a pair of oddly dressed assailants. They survive the encounter, but Jack ends up injured. They are rescued by the mysterious Maestro Domenico, the ringleader of the circus at the nearby amusement park, Jabot World. The Maestro convinces the boys to take shelter in Jabot World while Jack recovers.
Luke is grateful that his boyfriend has a safe place to recuperate, and the other survivors who live in the park seem friendly. But it’s not long before the cracks begin to appear. Something isn’t quite right about Jabot World, and it’s up to Luke and Jack to figure out what’s going on before the roller coaster drops out from under them.

SHIP
This is no pleasure cruise... Since a nuclear blast ravaged their hometown, Luke Chesterfield and his boyfriend, Jack Jay, have spent months fighting for survival, first in an abandoned shopping mall and then in the ruins of a nearby amusement park. Now, they’re eager for some well-deserved peace as they board the Delizia, a cruise ship repurposed to ferry survivors to a remote island far from the city’s devastation.
But it doesn’t take long for Luke and Jack to sense that something is off. Whether it’s the ship’s stoic and enigmatic Captain, the pair of disguised marauders wreaking havoc in secret, or the unnervingly cheerful crewmembers bedecked in matching vests, it’s clear this voyage will be anything but smooth sailing.
A surprise reunion with estranged relatives strains their relationship further, and things spiral when Luke begins to experience strange, debilitating symptoms that worsen by the day. Together, they must unravel the mysteries aboard the Delizia before their fragile new life—and the ship itself—ends up at the bottom of the sea.
