After a large scale surprise attack, the mortality rate soars among the population. The detonation of multiple nuclear warheads high in the atmosphere above North America leaves the country in chaos, the EMP destroying all the tools and devices of our modern lives. Following the EMP, the next attack, using Chemtrails, unleashes a virus that steals death from humanity, leaving the dead to rise to hunt the living. An ancient virus, tracing its discovery through modern history and the fall of Nazi Germany, now perfected and released is more powerful than could have ever been imagined. Bexar Reed and his family, along with their lifelong friends and fellow preppers, were prepared for the end of the world as we know it. They thought they were prepared for nearly every possibility, but they never thought the dead would rise to hunt the living.
