Dead of Night

In a dark and desolate After Earth, love still does exist, but the cost of succumbing to such a flawed feeling is death. World War III has left Earth in utter turmoil, and human beliefs are determined to be the cause of this worldwide destruction. After The Clearing, new laws are set: to show certitude in anything besides the law is mutinous, to be illogical and have faith in religion is illegal, to be limitless is dangerous, and illness is seen as a defect. These flaws are all inexcusable. But to love is the greatest betrayal of mankind. It is an imperfection the world has long forgotten and punishable by death, but Aecker and Opel are fully prepared to accept that risk. Because in love, there is freedom. But how far can they push back before love claims their lives and those they care about?
