Strain

In the early 22nd century, a deadly virus is unleashed, and the lives of four men collide.



Nico and Zach

A rent-boy and a preacher’s son. They couldn’t be more different, but both bear a burden of guilt for their unwitting roles in the disaster. They find solace in each other in a world that’s falling apart, knowing that every day they’re together, Nico runs the risk of infecting Zach.



Darius and Rhys

Rhys was only a child when the plague began, and Darius is a hardened soldier who wasn’t given a choice in what he became. When Rhys is exposed to the virus, the kindest thing Darius could do is put him out of his misery. Instead, he tries to save Rhys, losing his heart but reclaiming his own humanity.



Joining Forces

When Zach and Nico seek help from Darius and Rhys, they fight to bring long-overdue justice to one of the men responsible for the plague—and maybe offer humankind new hope for survival.
