Mark also discovers that the darts contained a virus. Mark and Alec manage to salvage a workpad device from the craft, which reveals the headquarters that the Berg came from. The Berg’s pilots commit suicide by crashing it in the woods. Mark and Alec, however, manage to climb aboard the Berg, desperate to know why it came and did what it did. People who are hit with them immediately go down, and many start bleeding. That day, however, a government aircraft called a Berg arrives and shoots darts all over the town. He wakes up in the morning, banters with Alec, and then goes up to find Trina, who is reading by a stream. Sometime later now, Mark is hoping for a good day. As the first rain finally begins, Mark and Trina admit that they are romantically interested in each other. After loading up the boat, Mark and his friends overpower the pair on the boat, and use it to guide themselves to safety in New Jersey.

Its violent passengers shoot Baxter for no good reason they demand food, supplies, and fuel from the group. One day, a boat comes down the flooded streets of New York.

They are able to survive the solar radiation this way. They spend weeks in New York’s tall Lincoln Building, surviving off of junk food. The group escapes from the tunnels, following a narrow run-in with violently burned people, and a cascade of boiling water from the flooded ocean. Alec takes them into their group, which includes Lana, Darnell, the Toad, Misty, and Baxter. As they escape through the tunnels, they are first cornered by criminals, and then saved by the ex-soldier Alec. Everyone leaves the train Mark and Trina get off as well, only to hear screaming and see burning bodies. Mark is returning home from school on the subway along with Trina when the power goes out on the subway. Mark has flashbacks of the events of the flares, and these are interspersed throughout the story, usually in the form of dreams. The sun flares devastated the earth almost apocalyptically. They are living in a settlement out in the woods with other people. The group also includes the seasoned ex-soldiers Alec and Lana, and other stray teenagers Darnell, the Toad, and Misty. In this group are the young adults Mark and Trina, childhood neighbors and friends, and now lovers. A group of people have banded together after the ravaging of the sun flares.
