Ralph and Sarah barely escaped the zombieclypse happening to the world, though not unscathed. Sarah is sick, delirious, and infected, while Ralph is out alone in the zombie-infested country looking for medicine to save her life. If she dies, she turns, and time is running out.

A chance meeting binds Ralph's fate to a stranger, a fate that brings him closer to his demise, and to a group of survivors. People get killed, others murdered, and the zombies are waiting, biding their time, for the time is theirs, to strike at those still breathing.

Sarah experiences a whole other kind of misery than the chase of zombies and survivors, for she is not alone. In this apocalyptic world, all misery is shared.
