Description
A magnetic novel about two families, strangers to each other, who are forced together on a long weekend gone terribly wrong. When Amanda and Clay rent a luxurious home on Long Island, they expect a quiet reprieve from life in New York City, quality time with their teenage son and daughter, and a taste of the good life. But a late-night knock on the door breaks the spell. A sudden blackout has swept the city, and the couple's rural retreat is plunged into uncertainty. As the news spreads, an older couple, Ruth and G. H., arrive in a panic, bringing with them the news that their house is the epicentre of the blackout. But in this isolated area, with the TV and internet down, and no cell phone service, it's hard to know what to believe.
