A Retrovirus, which was conceived as a tool for industrial genetic engineering, has gotten out of control and is spreading rapidly. While it crosses all organisms within our ecological system completely indiscriminately (mixing plant with animal and humans) most plants prove more resistant because of their complex DNA. However, the simple genes of the plants lead humans to become grotesque mutations, in most cases even to death. Within one week, 90% of mankind are either extinct or no longer human. However, a small fraction of the earth?s population remains immune to the virus and must survive in this new and constantly changing ecological system. Tom cellar is one the survivors and on an old military base in the Eifel he has entrenched himself. Further survivors come together and succeed in carving out a life in this new world. But the GMOs - the ?genetically modified organisms? - constantly develop themselves further, and soon the fence of the base offers no more protection.

Robert Fuschnig, a muscle-bound self-promoter in his late 30s, is known in his ever-growing internet community as Rob Fusion – a guy the girls fall for, a buddy you can steal horses with. On Facebook, he has a lakeside villa, expensive cars, and beautiful women. However, the reality is different: a sick mother, a job that bores him and no deeper contact with his fellow human beings.

The 16-year-old daughter of the highest dignitary in Hüttenberg is found murdered in the disused mine. For the first time, Muck has to deal with a case of this magnitude.

Deaths are increasing around Lake Ossiach this winter. An unknown body washes up on the shore of the miniature golf course, a diabetic dies of hypoglycemia on a park bench and another lady is found dead in her house...

A catastrophe wipes out almost all of humanity. A single girl appears to be the only survivor. Having managed to escape the ruins, she is now growing up in the woods. Could this last person on earth be a new beginning?
