Extreme circumstances dictate extreme behaviors. In a post-apocalyptic world infested by the undead, cannibalism is not only acceptable, but a necessity. In order to get by, people do whatever they feel they must. Unwilling to let go, Nathan nostalgically tries to hold onto the past by preserving the only remaining relationship he still has -- with his zombie mother. Unwilling to look back, Tempest forces herself to live only in the present, taking dangerous jobs with the black market while she tries to keep ahead of her past. Meeting at a support group for apocalypse survivors, they discover that each may have what the other needs.
