"If you would've told me the last day of our peaceful existence would be a boring Tuesday in November, I would've called you an idiot."
High school senior, Casey Whitmore, is about to discover her life isn't all about graduating with honors, taking her team to the championship, or even being the perfect daughter.
When Casey's mother comes down with the scariest illness imaginable, Casey is forced to take action, but no matter which way she turns the normal solutions are unavailable.
As she searches for medical treatment, Casey crosses paths with two best friends who agree to help. Derek is the broody mysterious type while Thomas is the smooth wild card. The guys couldn't be more different, but both are attractive and seductive in their own way.
It's not until all communication is hindered that they realize the spreading illness is no accident. Their world becomes lost in a horrific whirlwind of fear when the dead start attacking the living.
Hope fades and there are no requirements other than making it through each awful day. Life must go on, but with no survival skills, Casey has a lot to learn.
Even though Thomas and Derek prove to be invaluable during the fallout, love is still very much alive and emotions run wild even in the zombie apocalypse.
