Ward and the survivors of the compound managed to fight off a horde of zombies with the help of Hastings army but it cost them dearly. Now winter is coming and they have to rebuild and resupply. They discover that there is the possibility of regaining an entire city and all the spoils it offers if they are willing to take it. But the survivors are being pulled in different directions. Ward wants to track down Reed and Dante but is he after justice or vengeance? Doc wants to work on finding a cure or at least an antidote. General Hastings is focused on logistics and building a bigger and more secure stronghold. Their only chance is to come together and stand strong because the zombies are still out there and are always hungry.
