A devastating disease has turned people into cannibalistic horrors, grinding society to a halt. After escaping a brutal captivity, Kate crosses paths with Nick, a Marine weighed down by the ghosts of his past.
Forced to join forces, they traverse a perilous world where the undead aren’t the only threat—hostile survivors and their own demons could prove just as deadly. As Kate battles overwhelming distrust and Nick wrestles with crushing shame, the laughter of the infected grows louder, mocking their every move.
The deeper they journey, the more they realize the real monsters may not be the ones outside. Can they survive a world collapsing into chaos, or will the darkness within destroy them first?
