IMMUNE
Where there is horror... there can be love...
It is 2013 and humanity has been ravaged by the most powerful virus ever seen; governments have fallen, civilisations have crumbled; few survivors remain.
The Outpost is deep underground and home to some of these survivors, among them eighteen year old Jess Philips.
Jess was separated from her family during the onset of the virus and she is desperate to find out if they have survived, to do this she must secretly leave the safety of The Outpost and enter the world above ground.
But the real world is nothing like the one Jess remembers, feral gangs of survivors stalk the streets, food and water are scarce and law and order is a thing of the past.
When disaster strikes Jess puts her life in the hands of Leo, a dangerous gang member but one who seems as desperate to find his family as she is to find hers.
As the remaining world crumbles around them Jess and Leo set out in search of those they loved, facing dangers they could never have imagined both from others and from themselves and all the while the virus is still very much alive, adapting and changing and ready to infect anyone who is no longer immune...
Excerpt from Immune ‘I’m so sorry,’ he said again, ‘but the chances are...’ he paused and swallowed and I stepped forward looking at him, waiting for him to say...
‘The chances are that they’re dead.'
And then I screamed... and you know looking back I don’t think I stopped, not for the entire four years.

My Vics is quite a little you-tuber, she goes by the name of Iamyournextaddiction. Her vids pull in views in the hundreds of thousands and being the dutiful daughter she is (snigger - love you baby) she created a bunch of Immune videos for me. Posted above is the introduction - we had to cut quite a bit due to copyright but please enjoy whats there just for the sheer fun of it. Oh and if you're a Disney, Twilight, Harry Potter, Gossip Girl, Terminator or Jane Austen fan check out her other vids, they're pretty darn good if I do say so myself.
