Twelve years after the blindfold-requiring madness swept the globe, Malorie and her now-teenage children, Tom and Olympia, survive in a world where a single glance outside means death. When a census worker arrives with news that Malorie's own parents might still be alive, she must make a choice. To find them, she will have to lead her children out of their safe haven and back into the terrifying, unseen darkness.
