The world is gone—burned, broken, unrecognizable. In the aftermath of war and nuclear fallout, survival isn't about who's strongest, but who's willing to do the unthinkable.

Daryl and Joel have always been brothers in everything but blood.

As betrayal looms and their principles start to decay, the question remains: How far will they go to survive? And when the dust settles, will they even recognize who they've become?
