What would happen if women disappeared? In a future so real and close that it could be the present, the following paradox begins to occur: When women sleep, they are wrapped in something that resembles a cocoon and... they do not wake up again. If someone tries to tear the web, they react with unimaginable violence. In the small town of Dooling, the virus spreads in a women's prison, affecting all inmates except one, Eve Black. Is Eve a medical anomaly that needs to be studied or a demon that needs to be killed? At the mercy of their primal impulses, men are divided into warring factions. Some want to kill Eve, others want to save her. What they do not know, however, is that women, once asleep, open their eyes to an entirely new world... Do not wake them up!
