Cut the Saint, Keep the Life

Violet Dawson's older sister, Scarlet, is a saint with a savior complex, giving away water, food and even their home to strangers. When a brutal heatwave grips the world, Violet knows it will not pass: the rivers will dry up, power will fail, and most of humanity will die. A strange glowing screen shows her that she is living inside a post-apocalyptic movie, and that Scarlet is its heroine.

Scarlet would rather help a stranger than her own sister, even costing Violet her final exam. So Violet prepares in secret, using a hidden storage space to stockpile supplies. Now she must reclaim the villa her parents left her, which her uncle Adrian Dawson and his family have taken for themselves.

As the temperature climbs, Violet chooses survival over her sister's endless kindness.
