Opis

A pharmaceutical nightmare is unleashed and an invisible terror spreads across North America. It kills instantly. But a handful of children survive. What made these children immune? Young Mindy Lane doesn't know why her grandmother never returned from the grocery store. She just knows she is running out of food and water. With her is her grandmother's terrier dog, Baby Girl, and she, too, needs food. In a desperate attempt to find help, Mindy plans to leave the mobile home park she has been staying in since her parents went on vacation and go to the highway where she hopes to find other people. The mobile home park was evacuated during a hurricane and Mindy doesn't know that there are dead people on the streets. Before she can go, however, men in hazmat suits come to the park and kidnap her, taking her to an underground facility. There, she finds other children like her, survivors who witnessed the horrifying deaths of their parents. As the children recount their tragedies, Mindy refuses to believe her parents are dead, and when no one believes her, she sets out to find them, not knowing what awaits her outside the safety of the underground biosphere. But the Children Survived weaves a story of greed, loss, and hope. The children not only survive, they also prove what they can do when everything is at stake.
