In the heart of New York City, where the shadows of tragedy linger, destiny unfolds its plan for Chicago literary agent Lily Weiss. Intertwining her life with Hollywood heart-throb Archer MacMillan, a pivotal encounter will reshape their future. And for good reason. 

 

As Archer exits the Greenwich Hotel, acknowledging his cheering fans, a singular figure captures his attention amidst the sea of camera flashes—a woman standing apart, devoid of a lens. Intrigued by her beauty, he discreetly follows Lily to the solemn 9/11 Memorial fountains and feels compelled to meet her. Unaware of the looming cataclysm, an awkwardly extended introduction and dinner invitation become the inception of an unexplainable bond.

​

But their plans for the following day vanish with the sudden descent of night, enveloping the city in strange darkness that unleashes chaos. Amidst it all, Lily and Archer harrowingly struggle for survival.

​

 "Escaping Manhattan" is a gripping story showcasing resilience and unwavering strength amidst a catastrophe. Against insurmountable odds, Lily and Archer are thrust into an unforgettable and perilous journey that tests their trust and faith in each other.
