On the morning that marks the end of the world they have known, Molly and Neil Sloan awaken to the drumbeat of rain on their roof. A luminous silvery downpour is drenching their small California mountain town. As the hours pass, Molly and Neil listen to disturbing news of extreme weather phenomena across the globe. By nightfall their town loses all contact with the outside world. A fog transforms the once-friendly village into a ghostly labyrinth. Within the misty gloom they will encounter something that is hunting them with ruthless efficiency.
