Abandoned houses. Burned out businesses. Towns overrun. Dead bodies left to rot where they fell. Hordes of the infected roaming the land, killing anyone they find. Survivors huddled behind walls, trying to scratch out an existence in a world turned upside down. This is the world Joshua Andrews grew up in. This is the only world he has ever known. After the Tripp virus wiped out the rest of the country, the state of Illinois is the only part of the country left with any survivors. Walled in to preserve the remnants of the country, Josh and his friend Trey deal with growing up in a world that will literally tear them apart if they make a mistake. But that's the price they have to pay for being born in the apocalypse.
