Love is risky in the days of the Solstice.

Love, happiness, and hope are only available to those wearing red bands and taking Solidox pills. Solidox ends the pain of aging and returns the consumers to youthful health. Solidox tastes like the greatest comfort food imaginable, or even goodnight kisses. It also causes a hunger that can only be satisfied by human flesh.

When a hurricane decimates the only bridge on the island, the trapped residents must find ways to survive against those wearing red bands who have begun hunting them. There are rules attached to the hunt, but the rules favor the hunters. Amongst the debris and garbage that remain after the storm, a virus spreads, causing long-term memory loss leading to a war of attrition between the Red Bands and their prey.

Participants of the Solstice must use ingenuity to avoid being killed; nonparticipants are executed on sight. With the rules being arbitrary yet inflexible, is there a way to survive the Solstice?
