Quarantined follows a group of survivors trapped in a small town in the Upper Peninsula (U.P.) of Michigan shortly after a biological plague is released into the water supply. This plague turns a person into a homicidal war machine, which forces the borders to close, leaving our band of survivors to fight for their lives.

Responding to a strangely specific job advertisement, a distinctly ordinary twenty-something suburban slacker finds himself in the middle of an inter-dimensional task force staffed entirely by superhuman alternate versions of himself. Struggling to fit in, he uncovers a conspiracy that strikes at the very heart of the organisation – a conspiracy that only he can stop.

Last seen in the company of Magpie’s serial killing vacationer in Layer Zero: Choices, Richard McAuliffe and Mark Chilcott are back- and this time they’re delivering Damaged Goods.

This collection of short, dark tales will keep you up all night.
