In a world forever changed by a mysterious virus, brothers Jake and Sam struggle to survive amid the chaos. But this virus isn’t just another plague—it doesn’t just kill. It transforms. The dead rise again, but the survivors aren’t left untouched either. Those who don’t succumb develop extraordinary abilities, each one unpredictable, powerful, and dangerous.

After barely escaping their collapsing hometown, Jake and Sam find themselves in the hands of a military-controlled complex, a supposed safe haven that offers food, security, and stability. Alongside their new allies—Vanessa, a hardened survivor with a sharp edge, and Brett, a fighter with his own dark past—they begin to settle into this new life. But beneath the surface, secrets run deep. The truth about the virus, its origins, and the real motives of those in power start to unravel.

Then comes Trevor—a former enemy, now an uneasy ally. With his knowledge of the complex’s inner workings, he forces the group to question everything they thought they knew. As trust begins to fracture and tensions rise, the situation takes a devastating turn when a military bombing operation backfires, tearing apart half the complex and throwing everything into chaos.

Now, Jake is faced with a life-altering choice—one that could save those he cares about or doom them all. With danger closing in on every side, survival is no longer just about fighting the infected. It’s about deciphering the lies, facing impossible odds, and making the hardest sacrifices.

This gripping, action-packed debut blends the relentless tension of The Walking Dead with the chilling biological horror of The Last of Us, creating an intense story of survival, power, and the true cost of humanity in a broken world.
