Hearthwell is a thriving island rife with opportunity. It's home to families, tourists, trendy new businesses... and a newly discovered, violence-inducing virus that feeds off - and eventually kills - its hosts. A sudden outbreak of the DV-1 virus plunges Hearthwell into chaos and leaves its streets filled with Infected who won't rest until the virus has spread to every living organism. Survivors do what they can to stay alive, no matter the cost. When the line between allies and enemies can shift in the blink of an eye, there is no knowing what to do or whom to trust. There is only one goal: survival. As the days go by, a reaper-in-training, a young girl separated from her family, and a brother-sister duo must find their place in this new world, or die trying.

Growing up, children hear stories about the scary monsters that lurk in their closets and under their beds. These monsters are large and ugly, ready to sink their claws into supple young flesh and tear it to pieces. The thing that lurks under Lucy Jones's bed does not care for human flesh at all. When it emerges, it hungers for baked beans, peanut puff crisps, and fresh muffins. Scary is not a term one would use to describe this small creature. Unusual? Yes. A pain in the butt? Most definitely. When she finds herself lacking the right words, Lucy just settles for its name: Bean. As Bean's new human friend, Lucy's job is to tag along and keep the little creature out of trouble. Oh, and to solve the mystery of its past.
