They were in the wrong place, at the wrong time . . .
A hot summer's night. A lonely stretch of motorway. A place 'Somewhere South Of Midnight'.
Suddenly, something unidentified collides head-on with the southbound traffic. The most terrible carnage ensues. Eighty-seven people dead. Only seven survivors.
Survivors who emerge unscathed from the catastrophe. But have somehow acquired and awesome power. With a simple touch, they have the power to heal - or to destroy.
Stephen Laws shows us horror's most valuable function - the use of great darkness to point up and define, in spectacular fashion, that which is truly humane.
