A dystopian murder mystery set on a secluded island which is home to a small community of survivors, protected from a deadly fog that has enveloped the rest of the world. The murder of one of the island's elders /scientists triggers a countdown: if the murderer is not identified within 92 hours, the island's protective barrier will fail, and the fog will engulf the community. As the fog closes in, the islanders must grapple with their own secrets, lies, and the possibility that one of their own is responsible for the murder. A very unique medium-paced whodunnit, which is impossible to put down.
