Plot
Madison Clark, along with children Nick and Alicia, as well as her second husband Travis, find themselves in the very epicenter of events. Nick tells his mother about the unusual hallucinations he saw while high. But the situation is such that Madison is forced to check the information. And although she was sure that her son was lying, his story turns out to be true.
Nick saw his girlfriend trying to eat him and looking like a zombie at the same time. From that day on, all over the city, the police began to fire at people who behaved strangely. Confusion began, people were closed to their homes, but it was not safe there either. Someone committed suicide and attacked others, someone needed medical assistance, but in the end they died without waiting for it.
All the dead came to life and turned into predatory zombies. Inhibited, but still deadly. Traveling through the post-apocalyptic world, Madison lost her lover. Later, she had to come to terms with the loss of her only son. And soon she herself had to save her group, becoming a hostage of the walkers, whom she set on fire at the stadium. The woman burned herself to protect her loved ones.

Alicia couldn’t come to her senses for a long time. Morally she was broken, because she had no one left. At the very beginning, her boyfriend got sick and turned into a zombie, trying to attack her. Then the girl lost Travis, Nick. The death of her mother was given to her even harder. But more recently, Morgan has become the leader of the group of survivors. And its previous leader for a long time was Madison Clark.
This man lost his wife and son at the beginning of the events. Despair settled in his soul for a long time. Morgan could not cope with his mental state and only now the wounds began to slowly heal. Understanding Alicia, he condescendingly accepts her impulses to express her grief in his art — drawing on trees calms Alicia down, although many others do not like her actions.
Year after year, they come across people who are ready to take everything they have. But the main characters do not lose hope that someday there will be a corner on earth in which they will be safe, continue to live and stop being afraid that the walking dead will attack them…
