Memetic

A single image, known as the Good Times Sloth, has saturated global networks. Within hours of its release, exposure triggers a violent, irreversible psychosis in anyone who views it. The world’s infrastructure collapses as the infected turn on the uninfected in a cascading wave of madness. A small group of survivors, including a young man named Aaron and his boyfriend Ryan, attempt to navigate the ruins of San Francisco. Their desperate flight is a race against the image’s relentless spread and the clockwork disintegration of society. By the third day, the silence from most major cities is absolute.
