The undead have claimed the world with tooth and nail and now death stalks from behind every corner and from every doorway. Beset by the horrors of this new planet, living humans must now rely on their most formidable weapon: Courage. Having traversed a ravaged and infected United States in the slim hope of acquiring a vaccine, a dwindling group of mix-matched military and civilians finally achieved their goal.
