As the world disintegrates, Amy, a divorced thirty-something paralegal who is new to the area, and Tommy, a neighborhood kid she saved from certain death, struggle to survive in an apocalyptic wasteland. They try desperately to make sense of what is happening. As time goes by they discover that not all things are as they seem. Every day reveals more and more about the mystery that is the un-dead. Some are more dangerous than others. The trick is to be able to tell them apart. Are there other survivors? Is help on the way? All they can do is hope, defend themselves against the dead, and fight for survival in this inhuman wasteland.
