When Paul first hears of the South American flu, he disregards it as just another health scare on par with swine or bird flu. However, when news reports show video footage of large-scale riots and unprecedented violence, he knows that something is wrong. As the outbreak hits home, Paul is forced to confront the realities of the world around him, as well as the fact that he wasn't as prepared as he thought.

In daydreams, he had envisioned himself fighting through the chaos and horror of the zombie apocalypse to emerge unscathed among the ashes. He thought he'd be a hero who saved the good, destroyed the evil, and rebuilt what was left of the world into something better than it was before.

He was wrong. There are no heroes In Hell.
