When the world went silent, the water plant became the last place to breathe.

Content Note: This story is intended for mature readers. It contains language, tension, and survival themes suited for adults.

An unexplained series of pulses rip through the Midwest, toppling power grids, twisting wildlife, and warping the human mind. At the Clear Water Plant, a handful of engineers, guards, and civilians take shelter behind concrete and chain-link fences, believing the facility can outlast the chaos.

As communication fails and help never arrives, order dissolves. Every pulse reshapes the world beyond the gate, and those trapped within it. Security officer RJ Johnson becomes the reluctant leader of a group battling exhaustion, fear, and the emergence of the Berserkers: once-human predators born from the pulses themselves.

Inside the walls, food dwindles, alliances crack, and survival turns from procedure into instinct. But the greatest danger isn’t just what's outside. It’s what people become when structure collapses and leadership demands sacrifice.

Clear Water, Hidden Danger is a tense survival drama about isolation, trust, and the thin line between order and madness. Each chapter digs deeper into who holds steady when the world trembles, and who breaks first.
