A plague has killed almost everyone and is killing more every day, and the only ones immune to it are a group of hybrid animal-children. After his father's death, Gus, a nine-year-old boy-deer, desperately accepts the help offered by a big man who says he will take Gus to the Preserve, a safe place for the hybrid children.
