*Due to physical disabilities, Iggy is isolated for his own protection. He only knows his two brothers, Baine and Nansen, and their world within a brick wall, called New Eden. In spite of his overbearing brothers, Iggy sneaks out of his room and goes into the garden during the day, where he comes in contact with a strange woman. Before he can say anything to her, he loses consciousness, and awakens to her biting his face. As his only caregivers, his brothers save him from the woman, but they cannot save him from himself. Soon after the attack, Iggy is overcome with depression and craves nothing more than to end his own life. But then, a survivor arrives, and changes everything for the worst and the better.*
*Baine infects Iggy with the virus. Iggy's body becomes perfect in all ways and he is granted unique powers (umbrakinesis). Things are going well, until Iggy sees the color red and his thirst reflex awakens. It is all a matter of time before Iggy's bloodlust leads the F.U.S military to New Eden, to destroy everything that Baine has created. Especially the infected ones.*

 Jim looked down at her and sighed. “He will die in about two more days… give or take twelve hours, or he’ll be cured of this terrible illness and move on to the transplant series.” He tapped the button on the control panel and the screen flickered red again. He sang, “only time will tell.” 


 As soon as Iggy recognized the red, his eyelids pulled up and he couldn’t force them back down. An empty, silent sob pulled his diaphragm in and out, causing his abdomen to quake with desperation, because he was now certain that he was going to die there.
