Ophelia is a young woman in a world where zombies roam the hillsides, humans are sold at auction, and surviving on the new frontiers of humanity is all but impossible. When her family abandons her, Ophelia must set out on a quest for a cure to the zombie virus in order to have any hope of ever finding peace, acceptance, friendship, or — maybe, just maybe — someone to safely kiss. Ophelia must redefine what it means to survive in a world turned on its undead head, with humanity in crisis and her own little sister trying to gnaw on her bones. She must triumph over the forces of evil, those that snap their jaws and those that aim to own other people.
