Rebel Blood involves Chuck Neville, a forest ranger with a wife and son, who commands Fire Tower #6 deep in the woods. He’s all alone, save for a young female assistant and Danny Whitehead, a poacher he’s had some dealings with.

With his isolated surroundings, he’s had plenty of time to think about his strained marriage and let his imagination run wild.

An ominous call from officer Red comes across his radio one day. Red details the rampant infections and mutations that are showing up in people everywhere. He decides to leave and protect his family. But Chuck soon discovers that the infections aren’t just affecting people – the animals in the forest are also sick.
