In the beginning there was lightning, heavy rain, and fire, which created an event known as "the Waste." The event occurred every thirty years with the sacrifice of humans. There were also creatures known as "waste walkers." The waste walkers had taken over humanity and were looking to welcome the next Waste event after thirty years. Tavares (Tank) Johnson and his family moved to this small town to have a fresh start. Strange things started happening, and the people seemed abnormal. His family came up missing and he was on a mission to find answers. Tank's faith and trust were tested. Would he find the answers that he was looking for, or would the Waste occur and destroy everything known to mankind?
