After civilization falls apart, socially terrified Anya chooses infection rather than face a brutal world or another person. The choice leaves her undead but strangely aware, a harmless anomaly unable to fight for herself. Carrying only a pack and a desperate hope, she heads south to reach her relatives. Her compassion keeps pulling her into other survivors' battles, where she crosses paths with Zane, a merciless human weapon, Leon, a powerful undead ally, Mia, an unhinged virus researcher, and an irresistibly cute zombie dog. Together, this unlikely crew searches for Anya's family while chasing the secret behind the outbreak through a dangerous, funny, and unexpectedly tender wasteland.
