The small tourist town of Mukwunaguk is all but shut down for the off season. With the first winter storm of the year on its way, waitress Angie Zwiersky isn't expecting anything more than a handful of regulars in her cafe tonight. No one expects the car crash outside the cafe. No one expects the young woman in the car who is obviously sick with some illness and covered in bite marks. And of course, no one expects the last tourists of the season wandering down the street, looking for all the world like zombies. Angie never thought of herself as a leader, but she's going to have to be one if she wants to help any of her customers survive the night. Mukwunaguk is under siege by forces none of them understand, but Angie can't help but wondering: isn't something about this whole situation a little too familiar?
