A grey mist rolls over the city at dawn and does not leave. Cars stop, phones die, and survivors discover a quiet new rule: every person they meet now carries a number, and the numbers change. A delivery driver who knows the back streets, a pharmacist who has read the fine print on everything, and a girl who claims her number is a lie are about to find out what the mist is counting — and what happens when the count runs down.
