Toby led a completely normal life, until one day one simple thing destroyed everything. Blood test. Now Toby lives away from his family in the House of Death. In this place, far from the modern world, the lives of all the inhabitants are under the close supervision of the Mistress and a crowd of nurses obedient to her, who study their charges and wait for the appearance of any symptoms of the disease. This means that it’s time to take the sick to the infirmary. But they don’t return from the infirmary. Far from the usual world, from family and friends, Toby lives with memories of the past and is forced to fight fear every day. But the fragile peace is disrupted by the arrival of newcomers, and everything changes. Because everyone dies sooner or later. The only thing that matters is how you live.
